Several free genealogy webinars will take place this week covering: social history, genetic genealogy and Polish genealogy
The Danish American Genealogy Society will present “Are You Getting the Most Out of FamilySearch?” on Monday, Feb. 26 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time. No doubt most people researching their family history have dabbled in using the FamilySearch website. But there is SO much more to the website than you may even imagine, and many documents aren’t easily accessed with a quick name search. In fact, only 30% of the records at Family Search are indexed. This webinar will demonstrate how to improve your searching methods and strategies to take full advantage of the resources at FamilySearch.

Genealogical Society of Bergen County will present “Incorporating Social History Into Your Research” on Monday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. Family history should be more than names and dates. What motivated our ancestors? Why did they migrate? Who did they interact with? How do social customs of another era affect our research? Social history and its bearing on genealogical research will be covered and a “must-read” bibliography for serious researchers will be discussed.
