BCG Announced 2017 Webinars

BCG (Board for Certification of Genealogists®) announced their webinars for the upcoming year that they present in conjunction with Legacy Family Tree webinars. You don't need to be a member of BCG to listen to these. You can sign up to listen to them live for free. Also, they're available for free for one week after the webinar. I'm not positive, but I think your subscription to Legacy webinars also allows you to listen to these after the free time period has ended. 

This is a great way to learn more about genealogy inexpensively. I know I'm on the look out for education like this that easily fits within my budget!
