SUMMARY:East European Genealogical Society - Passing It Forward
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Dave Obee \nDescription:\nWe’ve been working on our family history for years\, if not decades\, and we know that can’t go on forever. We don’t want all our work to go to waste\, so we need to find a way to make it accessible for others. It would be even better if we could find younger relatives to carry on our research. How do we inspire them\, so they share out passion for family history? And then\, how do we get their knowledge up to speed so any research they do will be accurate and reliable? This session with Dave will give a few ideas so we can find someone in the next generation\, or the generation after that\, and pass the torch to them with confidence. \nDave Obee is a Canadian journalist\, historian\, and genealogical researcher with more than 50 years of experience. He is the Editor and Publisher of the Times Colonist and the author of a dozen books\, including major works on Canadian history\, libraries\, immigration\, and genealogy. Dave has delivered over 700 presentations across Canada\, the U.S.\, and Australia\, and his contributions have earned honours such as an honorary doctorate from the University of Victoria\, the Sovereign Medal for Volunteers\, and the Bill Good Award.   \nFormat: Zoom only meeting. Members are welcome to this Zoom event that begins at 7 p.m. CT.  A Zoom link to join online (and receive a link to the recording) will be sent to EEGS members only. If you’re interested in attending online\, please join. We would be happy to have you! You can learn more about the benefits of membership on our Become a Member page.
