FREE ACCESS THRU MONDAY

In honor of Labor Day, MyHeritage is offering free access to 928.4 million U.S. and Canadian census records from September 2–7, 2026. The records include every U.S. federal census from 1790 to 1950, along with U.S. state censuses and Canadian national censuses. Click on these links to search the U.S. Census and Canadian Census  records on MyHeritage

CHECK THE DEADLINE TIME!

If you’re waiting til the last minute to submit your speaker proposals for the NGS 2027 Family History Conference, be sure to note that the deadline is 3pm on Tuesday, September 15. Best practice is to submit the night before, so that if there are any issues or questions about your submission, NGS staff can assist before the 3 pm cutoff. Please note also that while the conference will be in Madison, Wisconsin, presentation topics are not limited to those about Wisconsin or the Midwest.

WEBTEMBER ALL MONTH LONG

Legacy Family Tree Webinars’ Webtember happens every Wednesday in September. This includes 19 FREE live webinars taught by experts on many family history topics. You can watch one, some, or all of the sessions live, and recordings will also be available through September. Register in advance at https://familytreewebinars.com/lp/webtember

BYU ENDS LIVE ONLINE PROGRAMS

The BYU Library Family History Center has discontinued their live webinars and Sunday evening virtual classes. Recordings of past webinars and virtual classes will still be available on their YouTube channel and on the website in the “Learn Online” section, and remain a valuable resource for genealogy learning. Full details about this change at https://familyhistory.lib.byu.edu/online-learning-update and links to the recorded programs are at https://familyhistory.lib.byu.edu/learning

NARA CHICAGO

A couple of weeks ago I shared a link to keep up with news and info about upcoming NARA closures. SaveOurNationalArchives.org does focus more on the San Francisco/San Bruno archives, so I am pleased to share info sent to me from CAGGNI (Computer Assisted Genealogy Group of Northern Illinois), about a similar website focusing on the Chicago NARA closure, hosted by the Chicago Area Archivists. The site includes detailed information on how and who to contact, as well as press releases and news about the NARA closures. https://www.chicagoarchivists.org/NARAClosuresAction

FALL WORKSHOP

Registration is open for the BCG Education Fund’s Fall Workshop “Research Planning Essentials: A Workshop” with Gary L. Ball-Kilbourne, PhD, CG, CGL. Space is limited, and these workshops tend to fill quickly. From the website “This workshop will … provide insights and hands-on practice with skills necessary in the planning of several types of genealogy research projects and work products” and is highly recommended for anyone seeking their CG certification. https://bcgedfund.org/putting-skills-to-work

GRANNY’S RECIPES?

Y’all know by now that while the sidebar and email sponsor advertising is paid, anything I write about in this news section is not – I just share info that might be of value to fellow genealogists. That being said, I recently tried out the app from one of our new advertisers, ReciScan, which the developer told me he’d created originally just for his wife and mother. The app is free and easy to use. Once you’ve collected your recipes, you can either download your cookbook as a PDF for free, or use their built-in service to purchase bound copies for yourself or for gifts. (I know….one more thing for your to-do list!)
