At Genealogy Bargains, we believe that the most powerful tool in a researcher’s kit isn’t just expensive software or a database subscription; it is education. You can have access to all the records in the world, but if you don’t know how to analyze them, they remain just pieces of paper.

If you’re looking to strengthen your genealogy skills, stay on top of new research strategies, or simply get inspired by experts in the field, Legacy Family Tree Webinars continues to be one of the most valuable—and affordable—learning resources available to genealogists and family historians. And the best part? Many webinars are completely FREE to attend live, and the recordings remain free for 7 full days afterward.

Each week, Legacy Family Tree features new sessions led by world-class instructors covering DNA, methodology, technology tools, record groups, ethnic research, and much more. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned researcher, these free webinars offer accessible, high-quality education right from home.

FREE GENEALOGY WEBINAR Migration Pathways Between Canada and the United States You Haven’t Considered

Migration Pathways Between Canada and the United States You Haven’t Considered presented by Kathryn Lake Hogan, UE, PLCGS, Friday, August 21, 2026 2pm EDT / 1pm CDT / 12pm MDT/ 11am PDT. Migration between Canada and the United States was far more complex than a one-way journey north or south. Families crossed the border repeatedly, motivated by opportunities, community, and survival. This webinar explores four lesser-known migration pathways that genealogists often overlook.We begin with the New England Planters, who settled in Nova Scotia after the Acadian expulsion, with some later returning to New England or moving elsewhere in the Maritimes. Next, we trace Black migration, from Loyalists and Underground Railroad refugees to 20th-century workers commuting daily between Windsor and Detroit. The session then turns to industrial labourers who worked seasonally in lumber, mining, fishing, or in factories, leaving behind valuable records in both countries. Finally, we examine Depression-era relocations, when Prairie families sought survival in the U.S. Midwest and Americans looked north to Canadian farmland. Throughout, case studies illustrate research strategies and highlight the records that capture these movements. Attendees will learn how to: recognize overlooked migration patterns across the border; identify the key records generated by each pathway; utilize maps, timelines, and the FAN methodology to trace family histories; correlate records across Canada and the U.S. to prove identity; overcome challenges such as surname variations, missing records, and changes in boundaries.

Our story

Legacy Family Tree Webinars was founded by professional genealogist Geoff Rasmussen in September 2010. Originally envisioned as a “once or twice a month” live webinar series, the service quickly grew into a full-fledged membership site offering hundreds of webinars. In 2017, Legacy Family Tree was acquired by the global genealogy company MyHeritage, and in April 2021, we hosted our 1,500th webinar.
