Legacy Family Tree Videos and MyHeritage are jointly sponsoring the fourth annual 24-hour webinar marathon on 13th-14th April. A wide variety of topics includes presentations on Irish, Polish, and Spanish research; genetic genealogy; and research methodology. Among the speakers are Elizabeth Shown Mills, Judy G. Russell, Cyndi Ingle, and Ugo Perego. You can register at https://familytreewebinars.com/24-marathon/
The following day will see Scottish Indexes' 20th Conference, and, as has become customary for this internationally-inclusive event, each presentation will be aired twice to allow viewers from time zones around the world to watch and ask questions of the speakers. The programme for the 15th April conference is:
Making the Most of Scottish Prison Records - Emma Maxwell
Caledonian Asylum Petitions - Lorna Kinnaird
My Cousin Sophia - Karen de Bruyne
Scottish Kirk Session Records - Chris Paton
Aberdeen Bodies: Bodysnatching, Riot & Dissection - Dr. Dee Hoole
Using DNA for Family History - Michelle Leonard
Keep an eye on the website for the day's timetable, which will also feature a general Q&A session with many of the presenters joining in. This is one of the most popular aspects of this conference!
Finally, on Saturday 22nd April, the 33rd Scottish Association of Family History Societies' annual conference will take place online, running from 9am to 5.30pm UK time (which is now UTC+1/BST). The theme of the day is "Haste Ye Back" and the scheduled speakers are as follows:
