Using YouTube Videos For Family History

Of course, I am presently very much involved in YouTube.com videos. I will be doing seven webinars during the month of September, all of which will ultimately be uploaded to the BYU Family History Library YouTube Channel. The BYU Family History Library presently has 176 videos, but we have been uploading an average of almost one new video a day and so this number will change daily. Of course the BYU Family History Library is not the only genealogically related channel on YouTube.com. Here is a list of some of more popular channels.

• FamilySearch
• Ancestry
• MyHeritage
• Findmypast
• Lisa Louise Cooke's Genealogy Gems
• Genealogy Roadshow
• AmericanAncestors

and many, many more. 

Interestingly, YouTube.com is blocked in the WiFi access available is chapels of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints even though there are a huge number of church videos also on the website.

Here are a few of the videos uploaded recently by the BYU Family History Library.
