Busy busy busy
The Legal Genealogist hates leaving this space dark and empty as much as loyal readers hate having this space go dark.
But sometimes things just get really really busy.
Like last week.
When I was speaking at the 2018 Federation of Genealogical Societies conference in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and — with Blaine Bettinger — doing the Thursday keynote that presented a small glimpse into the ancestry of four Fort Wayne broadcasters.
The keynote was enormously good fun, it was an absolute joy to work with Blaine — and it was a ton of work all the way around.
So… to give you an idea of how it went, here are the links to the reports we’ve been able to find online by three of the broadcasters:
Linda Jackson of NBC: Linda Jackson reveals surprises in genealogy conference family history presentation
Justin Prince of FOX: Justin Prince learns about his ancestry
Alexis Shear of ABC: Drum roll, please… the results are in.
Hope you enjoy these snippets as much as Blaine and I enjoyed the reveals!
So does the fact that the conference is now over mean the blog will go back to normal?
Um… not exactly. You see, there’s an Australian genealogist who’s never been on the east coast before, and, well, Washington D.C. and New York City await and…
That was kind of fun, even though none of my people are from the Fort Wayne area (so far as I know). I am curious about the 4th broadcaster and hope hers becomes available. And hope that we get a report back about your adventures in WaDC and NY with your Aussie friend. I did WaDC last year, and can hardly wait to go back and bury myself in NARA and Library of Congress. Have fun!
I liked Alexis Shear the best! What fun you must have had Judy. I wish more conferences would do something like this!
