MyHeritage Online Events for November 

This year has seen many ups and downs, plans changed and rescheduled, and goals postponed or canceled, but there are some goals that are still within our reach. There is still time to make sure that you meet your family history goals for 2020, and we’re going to help you get there. 

With multiple online sessions offered by MyHeritage each week, you can learn about a wide range of topics, from MyHeritage tools and features to research methods, historical records, and hints and tips from MyHeritage employees and industry experts in genealogy and DNA testing. 

Even if you can’t make it to the live events, you can still enjoy all recorded Facebook Live sessions in the Videos section of the MyHeritage Facebook page, and many of the Ask the Expert sessions are later made available for free viewing on the MyHeritage Knowledge Base.

Note that most times are listed in Eastern Time Zone. Please use a time zone converter to find the correct time in your location.
