Paula’s Upcoming Presentations

Paula’s in-person and webinar historical and genealogical presentations are lively, yet professional and educational. She has been presenting webinars the last few years and many more during the Coronavirus Pandemic. A list of her upcoming presentations follows this paragraph. Please carefully check the linked websites for virtual presentations to see if the event is only for members of the organization. Most presentations are open to everyone, but some societies restrict handout access to members! You could also join to support that organization. Paula is comfortable with her audiences and presents practical and accurate information. Each lecture and accompanying handout material is updated prior to each presentation. She is accessible for questions at her presentations and enjoys discussing genealogy with the participants throughout the event day or as part of a webinar. The visuals and the handout material reflect research in a wide variety of locales. Her lectures have taken her to most states around the U.S., to Canada and on cruise ships! Full information on events is not posted until the sponsor and Paula have signed a contract.
