The New York Genealogical and Biographical Society presents individual webinars and multi-day seminars among other educational offerings. In May, “Work, Craft, and Calling: Understanding Ancestral Occupations” is an online seminar.  As one of the presenters, I am doing a special version of my railroad talks, “Research in Railroad Records and History: Methods for Tracking Workers.” It has more of a New York and surrounding states slant along with some of the basics for railroad research. 

May 15 & 16, 2026, 10:30 a.m.–4:15 p.m. ET | Online via livestream

“This online two-day seminar will explore eight different professional paths of our ancestors as well as available resources and how to locate and interpret key records. All sessions will be recorded and made available to registrants for on-demand viewing through July 16, 2026. Early registration discount ends April 13, 2026, so ensure $26 in savings now! Learn more and register.”
