I am suffering from conference envy. Two excellent conferences are taking place this week, and I am staying at home.
Genealogists have descended upon Birmingham, England to attend the annual Who Do You Think You Are Live conference and in the United States, the New England Regional Genealogical Conference is taking place in Providence, Rhode Island.
Since I am not attending these conferences in person and there is no live streaming, I am living vicariously through Facebook posts and tweets from genealogy friends.
Yesterday, One-Place Study Register tweeted that slides from Dick Eastman’s presentation at WDYTYA Live, “Cloudy with a Chance of Genealogy,” are available. The slides have been posted on SlideShare.
Slides from Dick Eastman’s presentation and those of many other presenters are available on SlideShare.
While looking at Mr. Eastman’s slides, I noticed several other genealogy presentations. To find even more, I entered genealogy in the search box and found a large number of slide presentations, recent and not-so-recent, prepared by some pretty well-known speakers. To find specific speakers, I entered their first and last name in the search box.
Looking at slides is not at all the same as attending a presentation in person, but it makes me feel a wee bit better. And, I can sip chilled Chardonnay while flipping through the slides.
