2026 Legacy Family Tree Webinars: The Year of the Genealogy Deep Dive

  I received this information from Geoff Rasmussen of Legacy Family Tree Webinars recently:

================================

Registration is now open for the 2026 Legacy Family Tree Webinars series — and this year has one clear theme:  2026 is the Year of the Genealogy Deep Dive Instead of “one-off” learning, 2026 is built around Genealogy Deep Dives—coordinated sessions designed to help you go from watching to progress.  Deep Dive series you can follow throughout 2026 We’re offering multi-session Deep Dive series designed to build real mastery over time: Advanced DNA (5 classes) — Blaine Bettinger, Ph.D., J.D. (a true next-level series) DNA in Action (6 classes) — Karen Stanbary, CG®, CGG® (practical, applied problem-solving with DNA) Essential Skills for New Genealogists (6 classes) — Dave McDonald (the perfect on-ramp—or refresh) AI for Genealogists (15 classes / 3 full courses) — Andrew Redfern & Fiona Brooker (a structured, genealogy-first approach to using AI with confidence) — members-only  2026 Deep Dive event days + topics (save these now) Nearly every month includes a Deep Dive event day with 3–4 coordinated sessions on one theme, on one day: Jan 7 — AI Deep Dive (practical workflows + real case studies) Feb 4 — Advanced U.S. Census (enumerators, instructions, conflicts, context) Apr 1 — DNA Surprises + Family Identity (unexpected results + next steps) May 6 — Jewish Genealogy + Holocaust Resources Jun 3 — German Research (what’s different, what works, what’s overlooked) Jul 1 — Essential Digital Skills (maps, spreadsheets, transcription tools, modern workflow) Aug 5 — Forgotten / Underused Records (overlooked sources that unlock brick walls) Oct 7 — Photos & Preservation (restoration tools, interpreting images, preserving collections) Nov 4 — Advanced Problem-Solving Case Studies (methodology, proof, and “how did you find that?!”) Dec 2 — International Brick Walls (Ireland, Italy, England—hard problems, smart approaches)  Members-only blockbuster:  Elizabeth Shown Mills returns (brand-new class!) -- We’re thrilled to welcome Elizabeth Shown Mills back for a special members-only session—and this one is truly new. In Elizabeth’s words: “For years, I’ve wanted to do an ‘UNreasonably Exhaustive Research’ presentation, based on the toughest problem I’ve ever tackled. At last, I have a solution to this problem that I’m willing to go-live with. ” If you’ve ever learned from Elizabeth, you already know this will be one for the ages.  Webinar Wednesday (our weekly heartbeat) As always, Webinar Wednesday continues in 2026—fresh topics, top speakers, and practical education each week to keep your research moving forward. And yes — all your favorite series are back, too -- Deep Dives may be the headline, but 2026 is the feast. You’ll also see the return of: Down Under • England Counties • MyHeritage • BCG • African Diaspora • O Canada • Mexico Research • Webtember …and we’re also adding a new ICAPGen series (International Commission for the Accreditation of Professional Genealogists), plus Genealogy Guys, Webinar Shorts, TechZone, and more. Your next step (two great options): Option A (do this today): Register for the live webinars you want to attend. Most live webinars are free, and registering ensures you get reminders and access details.
