Ideas for talks.

Do you have something you would like to talk about? Is there something you would like to here somebody else talk about? Add your ideas below.

Remember, 30 minute sessions, slideshows/presentations if possible. Also make time for Q&A's at the end of the session.

 

Steve Frost -

  •  I'd be happy to do a Q&A on creating your own genealogy website.
  • If anyone has done any research on mining occupations, I'd love to here a talk about it.

Malcolm Hills -

  • Effective use of Surname contact lists (and keeping your details safe)
  • Effective genealogy searching with Google
  • Online genealogy resources - and their limitations
  • Some brick wall case studies - use of lateral thinking to scale the obstacles

Eileen Beech

     If in Sheffield at a suitable site I will tell the story of Chatsworth's Russian Coachman.
