Speaking out in 2019
The Legal Genealogist is quite certain that it will come as a great surprise to everyone out there.
You would never ever have guessed that … well … I like to talk about genealogy.
I know, I know. Such a shocking revelation.1
Can’t help it — with most of my family tending to roll their eyes when I even say the word genealogy, I have to have an outlet somewhere. And I got hooked on having people laugh at my jokes during all those years of teaching law students.2
Fortunately, if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my years as a genealogist, it’s that genealogists like to listen — and learn — and share stories.
And I’m privileged to have been chosen to speak to — and learn from — and share stories with some excellent genealogists coming up throughout 2019.
So if you’re of a mind to come out and listen — and learn — and share with me your stories, too, here are some options: conferences, seminars and lectures where you can find me.

NOTES
Thanks for the schedule, Judy – helps me organize my education!
I’m assuming you got permission from your furry buddies for this busybusy schedule, right?
I haven’t informed His Royal Highness of the dates on which his minion will be away… yet… 🙂
Your speaking schedule made my day! I have marked your 17 August presentation in Akron, Ohio on my calendar. That is just down the road from me! Do you have a firm topic in mind? Actually it doesn’t matter – whatever your subject, it will be good!!
The choice of topics is up to the library, and there’s still some time to go before a choice has to be made! 🙂
Chester County Historical Society I see; I’ve done a lot of research in those records over the years as my ancestor Johann Adam Moses was an immigrant to Pikeland Township in the mid-1740’s, and was one of the founders of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church there in what is now Chester Springs. Lots of Moses’s in those records…
See your coming to Dallas in August. See you then. Thanks for posting.
I would looooove to get together…
I’m planning to go to RootsTech in London this year. I hope you’ll be taking the trip and speaking there too.
I’m afraid that’s not in the card, Therese. I’ll be speaking in Allen County, Indiana, that weekend (and researching at the fabulous Allen County Public Library!).
