Between now and the middle of January 2021 I will be doing presentations in Iowa, Minnesota (2), Wisconsin, Florida, Texas, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Utah.

I have updated my presentations calendar for all these events with links to the organizations that have contracted with me. That’s where you will learn how to register. You won’t have to wear a face mask or bring hand sanitizer, though. All of these will be done online. This means you don’t have to physically be in these states!

I hope to see you at many of these. I have been enjoying other online education this year, too. All of my presentations include a handout or the handouts are included in a syllabus. The organizations either email these to you or give you a link to the information.

Some events are free and others have a cost. We do need to support our genealogical and historical organizations even through this tough year. The platforms on which they offer online webinars and seminars are not free when they let more than a few people participate. The presenters are also not free.

We put a lot of hours into compiling presentations and handouts. Even if a presentation is not being done for the first time, there is still a lot of time involved in reviewing and updating them. All URLs must be checked, content is often tweaked, and I generally make some alterations to apply more directly to the main area of the probable audience. It’s the job of a presenter to be prepared. I have a couple presentations still in development and have been for several years. I research, find documents, do more research, and then comes the PowerPoint compilation. The handout also takes a lot of time. Now I better go update some handout for upcoming presentations.
