BCG associates prepare and present the free monthly webinars sponsored by BCG through Legacy Family Tree Webinars. They present lectures and workshops at both virtual and in-person events, and they write for scholarly and other journals.

These articles and case studies, accessible to any subscriber, offer a unique and permanent record of the methodology, research process, record sets, and writing skills used to solve difficult genealogical problems. They are invaluable to the family historian as guideposts to solving similar problems of identity, location, parentage, and relationships.
