Researching Abroad - Finding European and British Isles Ancestors - Day 2

Chris Wright & Dirk Weissleder
Dirk Weissleder gave some excellent sessions on "Primary and Secondary Sources on Genealogy in Germany", "Introduction to European Research", "The International German Genealogical Partnership", and "Archives, Libraries, & Institutions for Genealogical Researchers in Germany".

We also heard about European Resources at GSQ, QFHS, and State Library of Queensland. Rosemary told us about more features of MyHeritage, and Helen gave a thorough introduction to "Using DNA to solve Genealogical Puzzles".

If you have a chance to attend, in one of the other capital cities, you really will enjoy yourself and learn a lot.
