Introduction to Tracing Your Roots in Eastern Europe by Amy L. Wachs, JD – Wednesday, August 16, 6:00 PM PDT

 In the past, our organization has helped with the promotion of webinars that the SCGS' Genealogy Group puts on for the general public. Even though we are a Hispanic genealogy group, we promote the education and knowledge that one may obtain from these presentations. Who knows if your ancestors may have some connection to these areas. Since they our free online via their GoToMeeting, we are letting our members know that these courses are available to you if you sign in and register in advance by hitting here.

Webinars offer Jamboree-style seminars for up to 500 attendees per session, at no charge.  While the original webcasts are available to all genealogists, SCGS members will be able to review archived sessions at any time by accessing the SCGS members-only section of this website. Archived sessions will be available approximately three days following the webinar. To view the webinar, you will need a computer with audio speakers or a headset. Those persons with a fast Internet connection (either broadband or DSL) will have the most satisfactory experience.
