Paula’s Upcoming Presentations

Paula’s in-person and webinar and seminar historical and genealogical presentations are lively, yet professional and educational. She has been presenting webinars, online seminars, and virtual institute courses for several 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 and for registration details. 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 audience and presents practical and accurate information. Each PowerPoint presentation 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 or seminar. 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. Want to know more about my presentation services, arrangements, and fees? Email me: PaulaStuartWarren at gmail.com. Anyone interested in the events below may register unless it states for members only.
