A joyful spring to all, and happy holidays to those celebrating! Spring has always been a time of hope and new beginnings, and we hope that you are feeling that spirit wherever you are. As always, we have an exciting schedule of free online events lined up for you in the month of April: the usual Facebook Lives and Ask the Expert sessions and the “webinar of webinars”: the second annual 24-hour genealogy webinar marathon!
Our free, live webinars feature top experts in genealogy, family history, and DNA speaking on a wide variety of useful and relevant topics. Thanks to the live format, you can ask questions and interact with the lecturers in real time. Even if you can’t make it to the live events, you can still enjoy all recorded FB 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.
But first, the most exciting online event for April:
April 8–9: The Second Annual 24-Hour Genealogy Webinar Marathon
Last year, MyHeritage and Legacy Family Tree Webinars hosted the first-ever 24-hour genealogy webinar marathon, an unprecedented event that brought the latest and greatest in genealogy straight to the homes of users from every time zone. Following the success of that event, we’re excited to invite you to participate in the second annual 24-hour genealogy webinar marathon!
