I just got the list of FamilySearch classes for August. Some of the classes are webinars. According to Paul Nauta, the following steps can be taken to do the webinars:
Webinars can be accessed by going to FamilySearch.org; click on Search; select Wiki. Type Family History Library and choose the top entry. Click on 2.2 Live Online Classes for details; scroll to find the desired class. Note that past webinars are available. I recommend that if you haven’t watched FamilySearch webinars since February 25, that you go in and take a look a a past webinar, and download the Cisco webex program needed to allow viewing of current webinars. I just added it as an add-on to my Chrome browser.
Click here for instructions on how to add the Cisco webex add-on as a temporary application.
If you’re reading this blog, just click on the link or illustration, and bypass the steps listed above (You still have to do a Cisco webex download). The classes and workshops that are not webinars are held in the Family History Library itself.
The following is from FamilySearch:
These classes and workshops are designed to help individuals and families find their ancestors and teach others family history techniques.
