We celebrate far too little. So when the VGA<\/a> asked me to come to the party, I said, “yes!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent 3 hours today with fellow family historians. We heard from great speakers who shared fun tips and told interesting stories. We played genealogy games, too! I shared my version of a much-loved evening game show that involves responding to an answer with a question. Yes, that’s the one! Everyone had a blast and we had a winner who excelled at the Genealogical Proof Standard Category. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sponsors recorded the presentations and shared additional presentations on their YouTube Channel. I contributed two recordings: Concise Communication for Genealogists using SBAR<\/a> and an Introduction to WikiTree’s US Black Heritage Project<\/a>. Head on over to listen to my recordings and hear all the wonderful presenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a fun party!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
