Auckland, here I come! I’m heading north for the Auckland Family History Expo, and I seem to have managed to fill almost every part of the weekend. 😄
On Friday I’ll be teaching Mapping Our Stories, a hands-on workshop exploring how we can use maps to connect the places in our lives with the stories that happened there.
Then on Friday evening I’m joining the panel discussion Family History Traditions Across Communities. I’m particularly looking forward to hearing the different perspectives and conversations that come out of this one.
Both the workshop (there's only a few tickets left) and Friday evening panel are ticketed events, so you’ll need to book if you’d like to join us.
Over the Expo weekend I’ll also be giving The 5 DNA Research Steps talk, sharing my practical five-step approach to working with DNA matches, and joining Andrew Redfern for Challenges of AI in Family History. There’s certainly no shortage of things for us to talk about there!
And when I’m not teaching or talking, you’ll find me and Jenny at the Memories in Time stand in the exhibition area.
I’ve been busy creating some new family history resources, and a few of them will be making their first appearance at the Expo. Come and have a browse, see what’s new, or bring along the family history question that’s currently making you scratch your head.
The Auckland Family History Expo is at King’s College, Ōtāhuhu, 9–11 October.
If you’re coming, please come and say hello. I’ll be easy to find. Apparently I’m going to be just about everywhere! 😄
