Increase your Nordic/Scandinavian research skills by tuning into classes throughout the day on 1 May, covering Bornholm, Denmark, Getting Started with Finnish Research, the Nowegian Historical Data Centre (NHDC) and the Tax Records of Sweden in two parts. Get help with your Canadian ancestral research with the Skimming the Surface (Ontario Land Records) and Ask Your US and Canada Research Questions webinars. Those with African-American ancestors will want to check out United States Colored Troops and Buffalo Soldiers.
