A big announcement from Unlock the Past this week is that in addition to holding a one-day genealogy conference in Seattle, Washington, USA, they are now going to livestream it as well, which means that you and everyone else around the world can be a part of it. You can see the full press release here.
“In May we announced Unlock the Past in Seattle with Blaine Bettinger and Maurice Gleeson – and two more presenters. Today we are announcing that this conference will also be live-streamed (and recorded), expanding its reach beyond just those who attend at Seattle Public Library.
Both streams – all 10 presentations in two streams, a DNA stream and an Irish/general stream – will be broadcast live and recorded for watching for a limited time after. It will now be accessible to genealogists everywhere – throughout the US, Canada, the British Isles, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and more. You can view the full program here.”
