The below is a non-exhaustive list of webinars and learning opportunities undertaken over the last few years as part of my Continuing Professional Development [CPD] log. Some are open access for all but others I have only been able to use due to being a member of that group or having a subscription.

On top of these I watch many family history related programmes. This includes mainstream shows like Who Do You Think You Are? [WDYTYA], Long Lost Family, DNA Journey, DNA Family Secrets and A House Through Time. It is acknowledged that certain terminology is no longer acceptable but would have been in use during the time period of topics under discussion. Learning about AI does not mean I agree with the use of it in many cases.
