Will You Be There?
I have not posted for a while but wanted to update any of you who are still "sitting on the fence" about attending.
I also want to be sure that those who are coming or who are too far away to attend in person know more about what is going on and what they can see on the live stream.
Here are the keynote speakers and the entertainment for the Friday evening.
You can find the free livestream schedule at this page
You can also purchase a Premium virtual pass and see what it includes
As well as the big companies there will be local family history societies in the exhibition hall. I am a member of a few.
Hampshire Genealogical Society will be there launching their updated website.
They told me that the website is now much easier to navigate and has a search function that helps you find information, this includes both the Research Centre catalogue and online shop which offers the Hampshire Village Booklet range.
For HGS members, online databases include Home Guard Names in the Hampshire Record Office, Monumental Inscriptions – Small Churchyards andMuster Roll of the 2nd Battalion Hampshire Regiment.To mark the launch they're adding the Wills Beneficiary Index.
All their information is compiled from work done by the volunteers over the last 45 years. There are many more indexes and datasets to come!
Looking forward to meeting friends and making new ones.
