Genimate Judy is returning downunder

Over the past few years I've had the opportunity to hear Judy G Russell, The Legal Genealogist, speak on genealogy topics on three continents. I managed to nab Judy for an interview at Rootstech in 2016 where she spoke to me about her genealogy journey and her first trip downunder. 

I have been fortunate to have several opportunities to socialise as well as learn from Judy.

Judy enjoyed an Aussie Pub meal with genimates on her first visit to Sydney 2016

After one of Judy's presentations in Sydney I wrote this:

It is rare that I lavish praise on genealogy presenters but Judy is excellence in presentation personified. She knows her subject, she looks professional and acts professionally (although we casual Aussies encouraged her to discard her jacket in the 36c heat), she oozes passion and enthusiasm, injects humour into her presentations, involves her audience : she delivers on all counts.  I am sometimes concerned at the quality of presenters that are sent down under, Judy (and a couple of others are exceptions). https://geniaus.blogspot.com/2016/02/judy-sailed-in.html

I was so thrilled to hear that Judy, who was a keynote at Congress 2018 in Sydney, would be presenting again at Connections2025 (aka known as Congress) in Brisbane.

This recent media release for the organisers of Connections2025 tells more of  Judy's story.
