RootsMagic is proud to be sponsoring a full week of webinar sessions dedicated to the 1940 US Census and hosted by DearMYRTLE.
What to Expect at the Webinars
Since the 1940 US Census images will have been released only 12 hours prior to the first webinar session, we'll be learning and sharing together. The format for the webinar is "partial open mic" to discuss "on the fly" the experiences we're having with the newly released 1940 US Federal Census images. We will be joined by Jim Ericson from FamilySearch and Amy Johnson Crow from Archives.com with tips, tricks and answers to your 1940 census questions.
Five Webinars - Attend One or All of Them
The 1940 Census webinar sessions will meet five (count'em 5) times, and you may attend any or all of the sessions with your single registration. Register once to receive log-in info and reminders for all five nights.
Each webinar session will be open to the first 1000 people in the door each night. DearMYRTLE will hold a pre-webinar warm-up beginning 15 minutes before the start time.
