View the new Footnote.com Webinar

Family Tree Magazine is presenting a FREE 30-minute Webinar of the key features of Footnote.com for your viewing pleasure. You can see more information on Diane Haddad's The Genealogy Insider blog here.

The Webinar presents information about:
* records available on Footnote - by era or record type
* demonstrating record search capabilities
* using the Footnote image viewer
* creating Footnote Pages about your ancestors with information and images you upload
There is a big orange button on Diane's post that leads the reader to a registration process before you can view the video. The Webinar is very similar to the presentation that Roger Bell made at the 2009 FGS Conference in Little Rock several weeks ago.
I watched the Footnote video the other day and enjoyed the presentation. The audio is not excellent, but the flow of the presentation and the topics talked about capture the essence of the web site and its collections, and how to use them.
If you are considering subscribing to Footnote.com, this webinar may help you decide.
