The Washington DC Family History Center 8th Annual Conference

The Washington DC Family History Center 8th Annual Conference was great! It is always an honor to be invited to speak. I enjoyed the audiences for my talks, and learned from them, too.

I’m hoping that their will be a lot of new blogs out there after my talk. You CAN do this! And maybe it will help distant cousins to find you.

The other speakers that I had the pleasure to listen to were very professional, and interesting. The Keynote speaker talked about his work on the Baltimore Immigration Memorial Project.

If you need to download the syllabi, please do it before Sunday night (4 May 2014). Remember that the syllabus for Dr. Ezell’s talk, Genealogy Apps for Tablets and Smartphones, is not included in the download all option and has to be downloaded separately.

Working on my next presentation

It’s the little things that make me happy. Here’s where I am working on my next genealogy presentation, First Steps in Irish Research. All in my own private room at the local community college. Have you looked into getting a library card at your local community college, or state university yet? Hope I will see you at the Irish Genealogical Interest meeting at WDC FHC.
