The Victoria Genealogical Society in British Columbia will this Saturday, November 18 host a hybrid workshop, called Northern Irish Genealogy: Tools and Techniques for Success, led by Sharon Oddie Brown. The workshop will take place from 10:00 a.m. to noon Pacific time.
Sharon Oddie Brown will be sharing her extensive expertise and experiences gained when researching her Northern Ireland family history, and telling the world about it in her blog. Her particular focus in this workshop will be:
-
-
- The risks and benefits of sharing research — based on 20 years of The Silver Bowl website.
- What to do, what not to do, plus the thrill of unexpected successes.
-
Two decades ago, Ms. Oddie Brown started her Silver Bowl website, an idiosyncratic approach to the research of Irish and family history. So far, she has uploaded more than 5,000 documents. These include hundreds of original transcriptions, family trees and tables of data. Many posts include upwards of 200 pages of hyper-linked, primary research. It is frequently accessed by university students, historians, and genealogists from dozens of countries.
You can attend this event either in person or via Zoom. The registration fee for in-person or online is $14 for society members and $21 for non-members. Learn more about the workshop and registering here.
