Today, I added some new presentation dates and topic details to my 2023 speaking calendar. I don’t add all the details until I have a signed contract with the sponsoring group. Click the Speaking tab above to view the calendar and links to registration for the virtual events. If your organization is interested in hiring […]
I have completed the multi-page handouts for next Saturday’s presentations and hope you will join me virtually in Covington, Kenton County, Kentucky. It’s not only the people directly involved in these occupations, but the people who supplied them, repaired them, married them, lived near them, and traveled with them. Need some ideas for where to […]
It’s been a productive Friday. Finished a lengthy client research report, am now updating a handout for an upcoming presentation, and updated my 2022 presentations calendar. All while we have some very cold weather here, but the sun is shining! At this point, I am still accepting only virtual webinar or seminar presentations. I’m also […]
When I hear from some genealogical and historical organizations about doing a seminar or single talk for them, I get asked “what are your best topics?” The best topics have to be judged by those who listen and hopefully learn from them.

Webinars, institutes, conferences, and seminars. Genealogical education is vital and, in many ways, so easily accessible in 2020 and 2021 as these have gone virtual.

I am doing two presentations […]
Twice in the past week, I have been asked whether I was still doing genealogy presentations. Easy answer to that: definitely yes! I have been entrenched in a couple large research projects and thus have been pretty quiet on social media in recent months compared to earlier. I have now updated my presentations calendar and […]
I love statistics and tonight I had a thought about the genealogical organizations for which I am doing webinars or in-person presentations in the upcoming months. I checked and found that eight of the organizations are members of the Federation of Genealogical Societies. That’s an impressive number that understand the importance of having a strong […]
Already 2015? Where did 2014 go? It’s one of those years that I am glad is finished. I have been doing some calendar management for 2015 and that included updating my speaking schedule. I will be presenting at conferences, seminars, institutes, and also doing several webinars from my home office. As of today, my schedule […]
