A lot of information was imparted today.
Absolutely fantastic….I only wish I were much younger so I could learn all of those computer tricks…lol
Absolutely loved this webinar. So much information that I wish I’d known before. It’s going to take a lot of time on my part to redo what I’ve done with a research log but will definitely be worth it. I’ve learned so much through all the Legacy webinars I’ve listened to that it seems a daunting task ahead but with all the information gained it’s going to be a much better project than what I started doing 40 years ago. Thanks so much for the variety of topics.
Absolutely wonderful!!!!
All of Thomas’ webinars are 10. thanks for the help.
Although I have heard some of Thomas’ bits of wisdom before about using logs for genealogy, this webinar approached it through the topic of using someone else’s research. I always hear at least one new tidbit and continuous learning helps to reframe your approach to the situation in the future.

Hiding Out in the Open: Discovering LGBT Family History
You may have heard family stories about a relative who was “different” or perhaps you’ve discovered someone who simply “disappeared.” Have you considered the possibility that you could have a gay or lesbian relative in your family tree? LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgendered) people can be found when researching genealogy, but the search syntax, keywords and strategies are very different. By understanding the basics of “gay history” as well as how LGBT folk lived, worked and socialized, you’ll not only locate these relatives, but realize the importance of preserving their stories.

Genealogy Escape Room: The Case of the Only Name Change at Ellis Island
Imagine you are trapped in an archive and the only way out is to solve a series of genealogy research puzzles. Are you up to the challenge? Are you ready for Genealogy Escape Room™? Based on the popular escape room concept, Genealogy Escape Room™ turns the typical webinar format upside down! Each registrant will receive a Case Review File used to solve a series of online research tasks BEFORE the live webinar takes place. The webinar is the “reveal” where a step-by-step review of each puzzle, task, and clue all the way to the final “key” to open the door. Genealogy methodology concepts will be summarized before announcing who escaped first! The Case of Frank Woodhull: The Only Name Change at Ellis Island. You may have heard in a family story that a family’s surname or even a person’s given name was changed upon arrival in the United States at Ellis Island. This “urban legend” has been discussed and debunked for decades in the genealogy community. Since an immigrant’s name MUST match the ship’s manifesto, most name changes took place AFTER the person was successfully admitted. The change could have been done simply by adopting a new name or by selecting a new name during the citizenship process. But … there is ONE case of a name change of an immigrant at Ellis Island and that person is Frank Woodhull who arrived at New York City on October 4th, 1908. Follow an amazing research journey with twists and turns and you’ll find out how Woodhull lived under an assumed name in the United States for almost 15 years before his fateful return to the US from a holiday in England.
