No More Nutfield Genealogy Calendar Posts

                               

I have decided to discontinue the calendar posts on my blog in 2021.  This may not be a permanent change, but with all the new webinars, online classes, virtual history tours, and other genealogy and local history events moving to the internet I cannot keep up with all the offerings.  Moving classes and events online makes the entire world of virtual events available to any one in New England, and all the virtual events in New England are available to anyone in the world outside our six little states.  It doesn’t make sense to try to capture all of them on one blog post.

Many, many people have been emailing me messages about how much they will miss my calendar posts, and “What do I do now?”.  I’ve been telling them to do what I do – search online for what types of classes you’d like to attend, and you’ll find plenty of options. 

I spend hours and hours putting together my calendar posts.  One thing you can try is to look back at my calendar posts from 2020 and see the host organizations, then check their websites. Here are some of the places I go to for compiling those posts (There are many others! This list is just a suggestion.).  You can do this, too!  (Remember that my blog is centered around New England genealogy and local history.  You might have different needs while searching for online education opportunities)

  1. I use ConferenceKeeper dor org. It is free and I think most organizations now use it to post all their webinars and conferences.

  2. Keep an eye on area public libraries as well. Many in CT are adding genealogy programming but only advertise in town. Thanks so much for doing this for so long!

  3. Wise move Heather. I’m sure you have more family stories to share, and compiling that list took a lot of time. I’m sure everyone will find what they need from your advice.

    1. Yes, I'm looking forward to making a future calendar someday with live events instead of virtual!

    2. Amen to that. I miss our live events so much.
