We are focused on bringing you unique webinars that will enhance your research skills, and this lineup of speakers and topics is sure to hit that sweet spot! We hope you will join us for the livestreamed event, but even if you can't, you will have access to the digitally recorded talks and can watch them at your leisure for three months!

Online Access

We are again using Zoom, an internet platform, to host the live presentations and digital recordings. Zoom has a limit of 100 participants for each live talk and those spots will go to the first 100 registrants who log in for each lecture. If you cannot attend the live session, all registrants will still be able to watch the lectures online afterwards. Digital recordings of all four talks will be posted online by Monday, 19 October and remain available until the end of January.

Registration

Get all four lectures for $35 for StLGS members and $45 for non-members. More information about the lectures (including descriptions of each), speaker bios, and the registration process are on our website.

 
Register via our secure online store or by downloading and mailing a registration form from the Fall Speaker Series page on our website.

After you have registered, you will receive an invitation to the Fall Speaker Series via the email address you provided. (Note: The email will come to you during the week before the live webinars.) The handouts will be available to you as downloadable PDFs and you will receive an email with instructions on how to access them.

We are delighted to be able to continue to provide educational opportunities for family historians around the world and look forward to having you join us for this exciting program!
