I
had the pleasure earlier this month in presenting my talk about Genealogy
and the Little Ice Age to two groups. One was in Seattle at the one-day
conference put on by Unlock the Past.
I was joined there by international experts, Blaine Bettinger, Maurice Gleeson
and Cyndi Ingle.
As
a special bonus, registrants to the conference can view all of the
presentations on the Legacy Family Tree
Webinars website. It is not too late to sign up. As Unlock the Past has announced in their latest newsletter. Details
can be found for late registration on the Unlock the Past website. In
addition to getting access to the 10 presentations, the price also includes an entry
into a prize draw and a AU$90 discount coupon (approximately the full value of
the livestream registration cost) on an order of Unlock the Past’s genealogy ebooks.
A great deal!
As
they say, “UPDATE 18 September 2018
– the conference and livestreaming itself has ended. You may still book for the
recorded sessions – until 30 September 2018. The recorded sessions, will be
available from (or before) Thursday 20 September 2018. A link and code to access
these will be given to all who have registered. You will have access to the
recordings for a month after you receive information on how to access them. Those
who pre-booked or registered on the day for the in-person conference at the
library may add access to the recordings for just the US$20 price difference.”
As
a presenter, I only got to hear a few of the other talks as we were split into
two rooms. I am looking forward to now hearing the rest.
Regular
subscribers of Legacy Family Tree
Webinars have access to the recordings as part of their annual membership.
So, if you are already part of that wonderful resource, I hope you will sign in
and watch all of the Seattle conference talks.
The
Seattle conference and my presentation in Alberta this month offered me an
opportunity to introduce my book, Surviving Mother Nature’s Tests, to more
genealogists. I am eager to spread the word about how habitat has played an
important role in the lives of our ancestors and that many decisions they made
with respect to relocating may well have been due to the physical circumstances
in which they lived or because of disasters that befell them.
Readers
may purchase my book directly from Unlock
the Past (Gould Genealogy & History), including an electronic (PDF)
version. Print copies can also be purchased from me for Cdn$40 (plus
shipping cost for those living outside Calgary, Alberta). Anyone interested can
email me at survivingmnt@gmail.com
to inquire about ordering.
I
continue to research topics concerning natural phenomena and family history and
will write more about the stories and reports I uncover – both on this blog and
in articles in various journals and magazines. I am also preparing other
presentations for public webinars. Stay tuned!
