February 2018 Genealogy Virtual Meetings

With all the snow we have been getting in parts of Canada, United States and Europe, it is a good time to hunker down and work on some  family history research!

Do you have questions about your research? Join instructors from The National Institute for Genealogical Studies for FREE educational virtual meetings applicable to your research. Even if you don’t have questions you are welcome to just listen, lurk and learn! We don’t mind in the least.

Below is the virtual meetings schedule for the month of February. Mark your calendars for sessions applicable to your research. NOTE: Times given are Eastern Standard Time.
