The secret is out!
I’m one of four keynote speakers at THE Genealogy Show in Birmingham, England which takes place on Friday, June 26th and Saturday, June 27th, 2020.
2019 was the first year for this show, and it was wildly successful. I’m honored to be asked to keynote in 2020, and I have surprises up my sleeve!
I hope that you’ll be able to attend. Check out their website here and watch THE Genealogy Show’s Facebook page for announcements and great genealogy postings.
So far, two of four keynotes have been announced, the other being Maureen Taylor.
Genealogical Tourism
If you’re from the UK, then this is your stomping ground, but if you’re not from the UK, then this show might just be a great opportunity to combine a great conference with some genealogical tourism.
- When I was in England before, I didn’t realize that I was descended King Edward (1239-1307) who is buried in Westminster Abbey. Of course, given that I know that much, more of my ancestors are buried there too.
I’m going to Westminster and that’s all there is to it. I’m not sure how one gets from London to Birmingham without driving (cause I’m not driving on the “wrong” side of the road,) but you can bet your britches I’ll be figuring it out. England has trains!
- Another must-see for me is Scrooby Manor, the home of William Brewster, Pilgrim, from whom I also descend.
Anyone else descended from King Edward I or William Brewster?
Are you planning to be in Birmingham next June?
Rumor has it that there are quilt shops too!
You could have one whale of a good time!
What other genealogical adventures might you plan around THE Genealogy Show? Do you have ancestors from England, Scotland or Wales?
