I have been an enthusiastic member of this online genealogy society since its inception in April 2018. The Association was founded by Katherine R. Willson, Christine Woodcock, Terri O’Connell, Tami Mize and Lisa Alzo and now has an impressive membership list that reads like a who's who in the genealogy world.
The Virtual Genealogical Society is a global organisation for the 21st century that fulfils the needs of family historians:
- whose circumstances make it difficult to attend local genealogical society meetings
- who prefer online presentations, special interest groups (SIGs), conferences, and socializing
- with an interest in connecting, networking, and mentoring with global genealogists.
The Association has announced its VGA virtual conference to be held from November 1-3, 2019!
Speakers include Judy G Russell and Blaine Bettinger from the US, Fiona Brooker from New Zealand, Ursula Krause from Germany, Audrey Collins from the UK and Helen Smith from Australia.
Australians who may be sleeping while the live sessions are broadcast will not miss out on any of the sessions. Attendees will have access to recordings & handouts for all sessions for 6 months following the event - watch any time, any place, on any device.
Closed captioning via Rev.com will be added to all sessions and made available to attendees within 7 days of the event.
Cost is reasonable at $US59 for VGA members & $US79 for non-members.
You have a chance to win a Free Registration to this event.
