Approval of Submissions
Normally I approve submissions within a few hours (during normal times of the day). If you don't see your submission within 24 hours, consider reposting it. I've had issues with a few submissions "disappearing" between the time I get an email about them and when I get into actually "approve" them.
The only ones I intentionally delete are those that are clearly spam.

The Final Brick Wall from A to Z Webinar
Of all the webinars, the "Brick Walls from A to Z" series has been the most popular. Recorded copies are available in my webinar archives but we're going to put on one last A2Z webinar.
Tomorrow, 15 April 2012 we will offer our FINAL "Brick Walls from A to Z" webinar. This will be the last new one. Previous attendees have been requesting one more installment in this series, but tomorrow's session at 1:30 PM Central Standard Time will be the final live run.
Geared for beginning and intermediate researchers, this session will include a PDF copy of the handout and registration for the live version is limited. There will be time for questions and answers afterwards.
Sign up for this last session in the series is only $5--less than our normal rate. Registrants who miss the live session can get a free copy of the webinar recording--as long as they were registered before 1:00 PM CST 15 April 2012. Copies after the webinar is over will be sold at $8.50.
You can process your registration here:

Hope to "see" some of you tomorrow!

Daily Transcriber Philosophy
For those who are new to the Daily Genealogy Transcriber, we usually only post part of the image as a way of helping us see how others might read names, even if they are read incorrectly. Part of this is because in some documents all you have is the person's signature and also learning about other interpretations helps us to find names in indexes and other finding aids.
If a person was actually transcribing, then of course you would want to have a larger sample of their handwriting.
That's not quite our purpose here.

1940 Census Webinar-Getting Images
Everyone's crazy about the 1940 census...including me--I've found 11 of my ancestors and a few others in the first few days since it's release. We're going to help those who need it see how to navigate the free 1940 census sites.
On 4 April 2012 at 7:30 PM Central time (Wednesday), I'll be presenting a webinar on using the free 1940 census sites. Not all have everything uploaded (NARA does), but we'll see how to navigate, download, and work with the free 1940 census images that are available.
You can register for this webinar for $8.
Or you can get the webinar free if your order at least $20 of recorded webinars from my recorded webinar page--and to top if off, you can use the coupon code of 1940 to reduce your order price in HALF and still get a complimentary registration for the 4 April 2012 1940 census webinar (for as little as $10--the $20 order minimum applies BEFORE you use the coupon). So that means your recorded webinars will cost you half the normal price and you'll get the 1940 Census webinar on the free sites at no charge--as long as your order totals $20 before you use the coupon.
All webinar registrants can request a complimentary webinar download after it's been uploaded.
