The Genealogical Association of Nova Scotia (GANS), which will host the Nova Scotia Genealogy Virtual Conference on May 2 and 3, has added a new session to the schedule.
The new session, Researching Indigenous Genealogy at Library and Archives Canada, will be presented by LAC staff members, Kirstei Abbott and Meaghan Bulger.
Tracing Indigenous roots requires a specialized methodology and an understanding of specific record sets held at the national level. Kirstei and Meaghan will provide essential guidance for those navigating these complex and deeply important family histories.
The society has also added additional details about other sessions, including Mark Thompson’s on Using Artificial Intelligence to Research Family Photographs.
The conference, under the theme, Explore Your Ancestral Ocean Playground, features a number of well-known speakers.
The registration fee is $39 for GANS members and $69 for non-members.
For an additional cost, there is also an all-day virtual conference, called Virtual Workshop: An Introduction to Using Legal Records for Nova Scotia Genealogy, 1749-1900, led by Neal Cody.
Sessions will be recorded and available to registrants for 60 days.
