GENEALOGY VIDEOS AND WEBINARS

“Genealogy Videos and Webinars—Free Family History Education from the Comfort of Your Home” will be the topic of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Illinois meeting Sunday, July 29, 2012 at 2 p.m., in Temple Beth Israel, 3601 W. Dempster St., Skokie.

Abby Schmelling, JGSI vice president-program, will be present several fun examples of how to learn more about genealogy research techniques.

Many genealogical organizations offer short videos and webinars to help family historians learn about different areas of genealogical research. From JewishGen to the FamilySearch Library in Salt Lake City, family history researchers can find useful information and methods in their areas of interest.

The JGSI meeting facilities at Temple Beth Israel will open at 12:30 p.m. to accommodate members/guests who want to use genealogy library materials, get help with genealogy websites on the Internet, or ask genealogical questions before the main program begins.
