$5 Webinar Sale Back until 25 August

Due to popular demand, we have brought back our $5 webinar sales now through 25 August. If you've not seen our list of topics, a complete list and ordering instructions are available here.

We have a variety of topics and our presentation is informal with a focus on increasing your skill level and knowledge.

Download is immediate and you can view the presentation as many times as you want.

Full or Everyname Index?

We've mentioned it before, but we will again--with the thought that if I occasionally forget, someone else might too.

Always determine (if possible) if the index or finding aid to a series of records is an every name index, an index to principal people involved, or something in between.

Your search methodology depends upon it.
