OK, Karen, I have edited this blog post to show the event.
DeleteHeather,
ReplyDeleteHave you thought about creating a Google+ Calendar for these events, like the GeneaWebinar Calendar that is available.
And like the GeneaWebinar calendar, you could invite your contacts to update their events. For example, providing Karen access to update the calendar and she would do this work herself.
There are certainly enough Genealogical Activities in New England that one stop shopping Google Calendar would be awesome. That way I can compare that calender t mine, then copy that event to my Google Calendar.
Just a thought.
Thank you for this list.
Russ
No, I haven't thought of that before, Russ. I don't use any online calendars.
DeleteI was exploring NEHGS this past Saturday and came upon two people who were there for the monthly Irish Genealogy group, which apparently meets on the 4th Saturday of the month, sometime around 10 AM, I guess. I think it was the 2nd floor. I don't know if you have to be a member or pay the $15 daily fee - just to attend this meeting; find out first or plan to spend the rest of the day getting your money's worth in research. The facilitator is very knowledgeable. She described the West Roxbury facility that houses the Boston archives. By the way, I asked if there were other similar groups like hers that met at NEHGS, and she didn't think so; kudos to her. She said most of her relatives in Ireland had died out, so it was her pleasure to help others.
ReplyDeleteYes, the Irish Genealogy Study Group meets from 9:30 to noon and it is FREE to the public. It is hosted by Mary Ellen Grogan. I'll add it to the calendar starting next month. Thanks for the reminder. Also, see the top of the calendar section for the Jewish Genealogy Group that meets also at NEHGS every 3rd Wednesday every month.
