  6. PODCASTS!!! Okay, I have to admit, I have never listened to a podcast (an audio programme) because . . . I like pictures! I am surely missing out because there are so many podcasts out there by great genealogists on a variety of topics. Some have been running for years so they must be doing something right! Want to find a podcast? Here is a place for you to start: https://blog.feedspot.com/genealogy_podcasts/ Heather Oakley - Ottawa Branch OGS/Ontario Ancestors - September 14, 2019

  7. WEBINARS!!! I really enjoy webinars because I can watch and listen at home for free! Just like listening to a presentation at a genealogy event, some people are better than others but the information is always great! Many even have handouts where you can scribble down your own notes. What better way to learn for free? Where can you find them? Here are some suggestions.
