GGS Webinars
Learning from the Comfort of Your Home

The Georgia Genealogical Society Inc., is proud to announce that we now have the capability for offering Webinars to our membership and the general public thanks to the support of TechSoup and Citrix, Inc.

Archived recordings and handouts for the webinars are (will be) available on the "Members Only" pages of this website, when possible. Active individual and family members that do not currently have a username and password may request one from the webmaster.

Please note: The current GoToWebinar contract allows 100 participants. Any number can register, but only the 1st 100 that sign in at the time of the live event will be able to participate and be provided the URL for the handout. You may sign in as early as 30 minutes before the event. The broadcast will not be repeated. However, the broadcast will generally be recorded and GGS members will be able to view the recording.
