Presented in cooperation with Maryland Public Television (MPT), this beginner-to-intermediate genealogy webinar series uses case studies to illustrate researching military ancestors in four pivotal American wars.

The two-hour sessions are scheduled for 7:00pm ET on January 20, February 3, February 17, and March 3. Since all the sessions will be recorded, you can combine attending live with watching sessions after the fact.

The cost is $100. Registrants will also receive a one-year introductory MGS membership (not applicable to current members) and a one-year MPT Passport membership or membership extension.
