Upcoming Legacy Family Tree Webinars

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:
