Thrifty Thursday - FREE Webinar with Ol' Myrt!

On Monday, Jan 30, 2012 at 10 p.m. EST  join Ol' Myrt for  a FREE online webinar entitled Google Reader UPDATE.

Here is Myrt's description of the webinar.

It's about time you used GOOGLE READER to pull in posts from your favorite genealogy bloggers. Since our last webinar on this topic, the good folks at Google changed their interface. This "workshop" webinar will demo in real time how to set up Google Reader with five basic blog feeds and create folders among other options of this free service.

You've been meaning to get your blog reading better organized, so SIGN UP NOW!

Thrifty Thursday - GeneaWebinars

As I discussed in my last Thrifty Thursday post, I take advantage of as many FREE educational opportunities as I can as a way to stretch my genealogy dollars.

One of my favorite sites to visit is GeneaWebinars.  Created by Pat Richley-Erickson otherwise known as Ol' Myrt of Dear Myrtle Genealogy Blog, the site was designed as one space to organize all the genealogy webinars on the internet.  It's a one stop shop for those of us looking to further our genealogy education from the comfort of our home and/or those of us watching our budgets.

The calendar on this site lists tons of webinars available and marks those that are FREE!  For example, on the January 2012 calendar, 10 webinars are listed.  Everything from "How to Make Money from your Genealogy Blog" to "Kentucky Genealogy Crash Course".

To make sure you don't miss any upcoming Webinars be sure to click the + Google Calendar button on the lower right corner of the GeneaWebinars calendar and this will add the webinars to your personal Google Calendar!

Thrifty and organized!  That's a double win!

Thrifty Thursday - Free January Webinars!

There is nothing thriftier than FREE and I love all the free webinars available to genealogists!

In January alone I will attend 3 webinars.

Yesterday I spent my lunch hour attending the Legacy Family Tree Webinar "Digital Books and Sites for Genealogists" presented by James Tanner of Genealogy's Star blog.  If you missed it, no worries, it should be available to listen to FREE for the next 10 days at this link.

On Monday, January 9th, I'll come home from work, make dinner, change into my p.j.'s and hop on my laptop at 7pm EST to attend the webinar "Introduction to the 1940 Federal Census" presented by Constance Potter and the Friends of the National Archives Southeast Region.  To sign up for the webinar follow this link.

Finally, on Tuesday, January 10th I'll follow the same schedule as Monday and tune in at 8pm EST to attend Thomas MacEntee's webinar entitled "10 Ways to Jump Start Your Genealogy in 2012" sponsored by the Illinois State Genealogical Society.  To register follow this link.

If you are looking to increase your knowledge while watching your budget, be sure to check out all the FREE educational opportunities on the web!
