Genealogy Standards spells out eight documentation standards, which give genealogists guidance for documenting genealogical writing. They also provide guidance for citation content, while allowing flexibility in the sequencing and structuring of citations supporting genealogical statements. This presentation will review the standards and provide examples of applying their principles.

Record As You Go, Cite As You Go, & File As You Go
Genealogists tend to get very excited about new records and sources they come across in their research. So much so that they grab a quick copy, download it to default folders, and move on to the next item without thoroughly exploring the source first. All too often they don't take…

Learning to write genealogical citations is part art, part science and potentially terrifying. Learn what important components to note while researching, and how to put them together while writing to subdue the panic, and produce quality work.

Sources and Citations Made Simple, Standard, and Powerful
If genealogy without documentation is mythology, recording our citations is essential to sound genealogical research. In this webinar, Geoff Rasmussen will 1) explain what makes a good citation, 2) demonstrate how to properly and consistently record the citation, and 3) provide insider tips and tricks for using Legacy's SourceWriter.

La plupart des généalogistes n’exploitent pas pleinement tous les indices disponibles dans les annuaires municipaux. Apprenez à aller au-delà d’une simple « recherche » de vos ancêtres et de leur famille. Comprenez comment les annuaires municipaux ont été créés, les secrets des différentes abréviations et comment utiliser l’approche F.A.N. Club pour obtenir le plus d’informations possible. Ce webinaire fait partie du séminaire de généalogie MyHeritage d’une journée, diffusé en direct depuis le siège de MyHeritage à Or Yehuda, en Israël.

Northumberland and Durham, in the extreme north-east corner of England, are often united when discussing family history. Our ancestors moved easily back and forth across the River Tyne, to live and work, connected by the City of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne on the boundary. Discover the key resources and how to locate them in the various archives covering the two counties. Learn how to effectively use the catalogues and finding aids, see what is available online or what can only be accessed in archives or libraries. Also learn about what records are different and unique to these two counties and are really helpful in your research.

Paleografía, Abreviaturas y Fórmulas Comunes de los Archivos Parroquiales en América Latina
Tue, March 17 2026: 18:00 UTC
Los archivos parroquiales constituyen una de las fuentes genealógicas más ricas de América Latina, pero también una de las más desafiantes. Este webinar guiará a los asistentes en la lectura e interpretación de registros sacramentales—bautismos, matrimonios y entierros—desde la época colonial hasta el siglo XX. Se abordarán principios básicos de la paleografía, abreviaturas frecuentes, fórmulas eclesiásticas y variaciones regionales en la manera de registrar información. Se incluirán ejercicios prácticos de lectura de documentos originales, con énfasis en errores comunes y estrategias efectivas para descifrar textos antiguos.

Patterns from the Past: Using Visuals to Showcase Correlation and Analysis
Wed, March 18 2026: 0:00 UTC
Visual enhancements can transform dense genealogical information into clear, accessible evidence. This session demonstrates how thoughtfully designed tables, diagrams, timelines, and maps can distill complex evidence and clarify analysis. Drawing on real-world examples from research reports, kinship determinations, and case studies, we’ll explore how visuals can emphasize evidence, reveal patterns, and show relationships that words alone might obscure. You’ll learn how to pair the right type of visual to your specific goal—whether demonstrating patterns, evaluating source reliability, or placing an ancestor in the right place at the right time. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for letting visuals do some of the analytical heavy-lifting in their next project.

Pourquoi faire un test ADN pour la recherche généalogique ?
Thu, March 19 2026: 14:00 UTC
Les tests ADN en généalogie constituent un nouvel outil important pour nos recherches. Cette session d’introduction détaillera les types de tests ADN disponibles et les résultats auxquels un participant peut s’attendre, des estimations ethniques aux correspondances ADN, ainsi que la manière dont nous pouvons les utiliser pour retrouver des parents et découvrir des ancêtres inconnus.
