Webinar Short Description

Names are a genealogist’s bread and butter. But how do you find your ancestors when they didn’t “go by” their proper names, or clerks mangled their names in the records or the transcriber couldn’t read the enumerator’s handwriting? These tips might help!

Every Friday we're pleased to offer Legacy Family Tree Webinar subscribers a new bonus webinar just for them!   This Friday enjoy "Descendancy Research: Another Pathway For Doing Genealogical Research" by Michael Strauss, AG. If you're not a member, remember the webinar previews are always free.

Descendancy Research: Another Pathway For Doing Genealogical Research

Many genealogists are taught to conduct research by searching backwards through the use of pedigree charts going back as far as you can. This lecture assumes a new focus on doing genealogical research tracing all the descendants from an ancestral couple to the present. Finding descendants and searching collateral lines of your family history is very rewarding and provides many otherwise unknown details to your family story as the methodology of conducting this type of research is taught. Focus is given to provide actual case study of doing this kind of research.
