Ancestry Pro Tools Virtual Event

[ikas]

I got an email today from Anc promoting a series of virtual training events. One of them was "How to use Pro Tools" by Crista Cowan on 28th January.
I don't seem able to register for it. I get a No Entry icon when I hover over the Register button despite UK being one of the countries listed in the availability list.
Has anyone successfully registered? I can't see what I am doing wrong.

You get taken to Zoom. You have to sign in or sign up (free) for a Zoom account to register. I think the Pro Tools event is now on the 22nd rather than the 28th

What can I say  .   I think they would be the last people I would be seeking help from

Thanks melba_schmelba. That solves it. A message on the registration page would have been helpful.

If you cannot attend live these talks will subsequently appear on You Tube.

I have watched a couple of Crista Cowan's recent talks on using Pro Tools and on making the most of your match list and found them informative. Hope these links work.

Thanks for the heads up

Thanks for that info.

I followed the link given above https://www.ancestry.com/c/discover/education and looked at each of the Video Tutorials.

Pretty impressed with the content so if you are fairly new to DNA then do take a look at them.

The using the Pro Tools contains good info, especially on creating Groups, similar to the method I wrote about in https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=863488.27 where I used “Number - GGP” rather than the surnames of the Great Grandparent pair which is a better way.
