If you are in the Sacramento, California area this weekend, or even if you are not (see below), I'd invite you to join me and the Sacramento Genealogical Society for a full day of genealogy methodology and technology. I will be presenting two brand new classes and major updates to two other classes:

• Timelines and Chronologies: Secrets of Genealogical Success
• Googling Around with Google and Other Fun Technology
• The Latest in Digital Imaging for Genealogists
• What's New in Legacy 8

Pre-registration is required (just mail it in by Tuesday, April 1). Here's the registration information. Held at the Fair Oaks Presbyterian Church at 11427 Fair Oaks Blvd in Fair Oaks, California, this group puts on one of the finest (if not the very best) seminars in the country every year. I'm so looking forward to Saturday! Oh, and if you have one of my books, bring it with you for the book signing at lunch.

If you are not in the area, I'd still invite you to join me as my "Googling Around with Google and other Fun Technology" class will be broadcast to both the live audience and to a live webinar audience. Click here to register.

Google and the genealogist were meant for each other. In this webinar, presented by FamilyTreeWebinars.com's host Geoff Rasmussen, you will learn how to unlock some of Google's secrets. Learn:

• How to help our ancestors find us with Google Alerts.
• How to better craft Google Searches with Douglas Barry's customized Google Search form.
• How and why to search with a digital image instead of a phrase.
• How to set up a Google Calendar and how to optionally embed other kinds of calendars.
• How to view historical state and county boundaries (similar to AniMap, but for free) with Google Earth.
• Other fun technology as time permits

This class is being presented to a live audience as part of the Sacramento Genealogical Society’s annual spring seminar. The seminar committee invites you – the live worldwide webinar audience – to join with them for this special class.

Join us 1) for the live class in Sacramento, California by pre-registering (April 1 deadline) or 2) by webinar Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 4pm Eastern U.S. Register today to reserve your virtual seat. Registration is free but space is limited to the first 1,000 people to join that day. Before joining, please visit www.java.com to ensure you have the latest version of Java which our webinar software requires. When you join, if you receive a message that the webinar is full, you know we've reached the 1,000 limit, so we invite you to view the recording which should be published to the webinar archives within an hour or two of the event's conclusion.

About the presenter

When Thomas MacEntee is not busy writing blog posts, organizing the 2500+ members of GeneaBloggers, teaching online genealogy webinars and more, Thomas MacEntee is busy in his role as “genealogy ninja.” Stealth is not always easy, but Thomas manages to get the inside track on emerging technologies and vendors as they relate to the genealogy industry. After being laid off from a 25-year career in the tech industry in 2008, Thomas has been able to “repurpose” his skill set for the genealogy community and loves to see other genealogists succeed, whether it is with their own research or building their own careers in the field. You can reach Thomas at [email protected] or visit his site at High-Definition Genealogy.

Confusion. Too many “favorites” lists. Too many “Top 100” lists. Too many opinions. Indeed, that’s just what the myriad of “top website” lists are: somebody’s opinion. Well, it’s time to make a better and truly useful list! Based on an extensive study of genealogical web traffic, here are the 50 most visited real genealogy websites. Since these are the most visited sites, they must be doing something right and providing some value to their visitors. Count them down, and learn what you’ve been missing!

• It was fascinating the number of little known resources that could yield so many gems of information. Excellent webinar. Thanks.
• The webinar was great; the presenter and the information that she covered is so valuable. I learn/gain so much knowledge about the associated practices/processes of genealogy research each week from the webinars. Thanks Legacy Family Tree!

•  Excellent!!!! Glad to see & hear that I'm not the only one who has emotional responses to our ancestors lives. Makes me know I'm normal. Thank you Geoff for all the information. Thank you Legacy for all that you do to make the Tree experience so much fun & so rewarding.
• For me, this was the most immediately helpful and useful webinar that I've attended so far. Thanks so much for all the hints, tips and examples.
• Geoff always speaks clearly and has his information well organized. Not a minute is wasted. Today I felt a special attachment for him as he showed the story of his twin cousins. He has become a "real" person to those of us who have his books and listen to his workshops.
• I am so happy I attended this webinar. I knew citing sources was important but now I know how easy it can be when done right. Thanks Geoff.
• I’m very fortunate to have watched this session. Very many thanks for this Webinar, it will be remembered as THE classic one. Your unstinting dedication to Legacy is admirable, and your knowledge is brilliant. WELL DONE GEOFF!
