GenFriends~Virtual Education for Genealogists




While conferences are fun to attend, sometimes, we don't have the finances to travel and/or take time off work to do so.  On this episode of GenFriends, Cheri, Christine Woodcock, and Melissa Barker discuss the many opportunities for gaining genealogy education right from home!
We cover webinar presentations, both live and recorded,  the many offerings on YouTube and much more! Watch and learn about the varies ways you can learn without getting out of your pajamas!
