We’re excited to share that the 4th annual 24-hour Genealogy Webinar Marathon from Legacy Family Tree Webinars will be held on April 13–14, 2023!
Register for FREE for the 24-Hour Genealogy Webinar Marathon!
The event, conceived toward the beginning of the pandemic-related shutdowns worldwide, was meant to provide a fully online learning experience bringing together genealogists from all across the globe to hear the latest news, ideas, and advice from the world’s top experts. It has since become an annual tradition!
Just like every year, the entire event is completely free and open to all. You can attend just a few of the webinars that interest you most, or challenge yourself to attend all 25 lectures back to back! Live Q&As will take place during the lectures and there will be door prizes available as well.
Can’t make it in real time? No worries: all sessions will be recorded and made available for free during the week after the event. Beyond that, you can always find them and view them anytime when you purchase a membership to Legacy Family Tree Webinars.
