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.
