The British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa’s (BIFHSGO) annual conference is always popular, well-organized, and filled with great speakers. Registration opened yesterday.
Entitled “Teaghlach Gaelach: A Celebration of Irish Family History,” the virtual event takes place on the weekend of October 26 and 27.
There will be six speakers and topics, ranging from researching your farming ancestors to understanding Irish Palatines to using surnames to map families.
The two Connect sessions will return. You’ll be able to talk to Irish genealogists specializing in Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster in the Expert Connect session, and also discuss Irish research, DNA or general topics with your fellow registrants in the social session.
If you can’t attend the live presentations, you will have access to the session videos and handouts until November 30.
There will also be a virtual Expo Hall, discounts and door prizes.
On the first day, you can even drop in at an Ottawa Irish pub night to socialize in 3D with other registrants.
The registration fee is $35 for members and $50 (about US$37) for non-members.
