Yesterday, I sat in on Amy Johnson Crow’s Live YouTube video covering news in the genealogy world. (If you’re not on her mailing list so you hear about these events, I encourage you to sign up!) One of the things she mentioned that I wanted to share with you is Wikitree Day coming up on November 4 and 5. This free genealogy symposium starts on Friday, November 4 at 8 am eastern and runs through 8 pm eastern on Saturday, November 5.
The first day covers general genealogy topics with familiar (and excellent) speakers like Amy Johnson Crow, Thomas MacEntee, Marian Burk Wood and Maureen. Here’s the link for the first day’s schedule. There are one, two or three speakers to choose from in each time slot. The presentations are pre-recorded, which is how they can present them through the night. I noticed that some are repeated; I think this is a great way to reach people in various time zones around the world!
The second day focuses more on Wikitree itself. I have to admit that I’ve never used Wikitree, but Amy extols its virtues and I’m definitely interested in learning more about this collaborative family tree. The second day offers to separate video tracks, so there is plenty to watch. Here’s the schedule.
The conference is free and registration is required. Here’s the link to register. I just registered!
