Thomas MacEntee has done it again - freely offering a great value to genealogists.

Thomas answers these questions and more in a very thoughtful way, getting you to think about an issue you may have been avoiding.

His book is available free through Amazon, but if you are in Canada don't click the first link! Take time to ready the whole blog post and then choose the Canada Amazon link to get his free e-book. But hurry, the offer ends on May 11th.

Who Do You Think You Are Live Conference Handouts Free

In the US & Canada, when one thinks of WDYTYA, you think of the US TV show.  In the UK, besides there being a TV show, there is also an associated conference held called Who Do You Think You Are? Live 

Since many of us have not nor will not ever attend this conference, it’s great that select presentation handouts are available online.

This link is to an archive of WDYTYA? Live Speakers’ Handouts (created by the Society of Genealogists) for conferences held in 2014 & 2015.  These are FREE to access and it’s a great collection of topics and not just about UK research!
