For those of you who somehow don't know, August in Australia is Family History Month. This year, along with all the other talks, events and sessions happening around the country, the wonderful people at
Unlock the Past are holding a roadshow "
Researching Abroad : Finding British Isles and European Ancestors".
Check out their website for the dates and details of the roadshow, which covers Brisbane, Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide and Perth.
The two featured speakers are :
- Chris Paton - British Isles stream
Professional genealogist, author, international speaker and writer of The GENES Blog concerning Britain, Ireland, and their diasporas
- Dirk Weissleder - German/European stream
Coordinator of the German-Australian Genealogy Alliance and the International German Genealogical Partnership
I've booked my place at the Melbourne session and am looking forward to hearing these two wonderful speakers. While I've had the pleasure of attending talks by Chris Paton before, this will be the first time I've heard Dirk Weissleder speak. If you're attending the Melbourne session I hope to see you there!
