More upcoming free genealogy events!

 

Whether you've got a spare hour, day, or month, there'll be something to suit you among these imminent free events:

Dublin Festival of History, 20 September – 10 October.  Over 70 free online and in-person events covering a huge range of historical topics.  Check out the programme, which is so extensive I couldn’t hope to do it justice in a summary like this.

Know Your Ancestors, 25 September.  A free online conference organised by the Register of Qualified Genealogists and open to everybody with an interest in family history.  The keynote speakers include Melanie Backe-Hansen, house historian on the BBC series A House Through Time.  She will address the topic of finding your ancestors at home.  The award for the most intriguing presentation title goes to Dave Annal, a professional genealogist and author, who will be speaking about "Lying Bastards".

AncestryHour  This is a weekly family history event which takes place every Tuesday on Twitter, 7-8pm UK time.  Find and follow along with tweets using the hashtag #AncestryHour - you don’t have to contribute, just sit back and watch.  Or you can ask a question; perhaps you have a research brick wall that you’d like some advice on, or you need some help understanding DNA results.  Waiting in the wings for that hour are genealogists of every level and interest, ready and willing to offer support and suggest solutions.
