The WikiTree Symposium is coming!! FREE Symposium, by the way. November 1-3 is full of genealogy presentations! I like to make a list of speakers I want to see. Usually, I just watch the names on my list, but this year it will probably be on all day for 3 days. I'll be sure to listen to the ones on my list, but also hear a little of them all. Can't sit down for 3 days, but I can catch some. A lot of speakers focus on newbies, which I am not. I've been working on my family history since the late 70's, so newbie does not apply.
Here is the Schedule for anyone that wants to plan their first November weekend.
Some of my favorite speakers are:
Melissa Barker. She is the archivist for Houston County, Tennessee. Every time I listen to Melissa I learn something new. Every time. She has a blog called A Genealogist In The Archives
Drew Smith. Always a fresh learning experience. Organize Your Genealogy, Drew's book, "Organize Your Genealogy", got me in shape. I spent a year using his book to organize, finally.
Cheri Hudson Passey has an interesting presentation. She is always interesting.
And then, of course, Thomas MacEntee. Mr. Genealogy himself. He needs no introduction.
