Old Bones Family Research of New England: "...with special guest, Dave Robison"

How 'bout that! In the past several weeks, I've been participating in many "Google Hangouts." They're much like GoToWebinar, but they're free to use. Call them a virtual meeting. For example, "Monday's with Myrt" is a genealogy discussion with participants from, literally, around the world. You can find them posted here. One of the people whom I've "met" is an Australian genealogist, Fiona Tellesson who has been conducting "Hangouts" for quite some time and has several each week. Her audience is not just restricted to Australia as she has become an international genealogy Hangout facilitator.

I told you all that so that I can tell you this: Friday, April 18th at 6 PM eastern, her show or Hangout is featuring yours truly!! How 'bout that?? I'll be interviewed by Fiona for this week's broadcast and I'd like to invite everyone to come on in and watch the show! Here's a link where you can find out a little more about it and, I think, sign up to "attend." If that doesn't work and you'd like to attend, send your e-mail address directly to me at dave@oldbones.info and I can send you an invitation directly. I know it's short notice, but we just finalized all of this earlier today.

The Hangouts are a lot of fun, usually very informative and for those who conduct them, free! I've been using them for the New England Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists (NEAPG). It's a lot cheaper than driving hundreds of miles to get to a face meeting somewhere in New England. I've also arranged to have some relatively famous, nationally known speakers come to our Western Massachusetts Genealogical Society meetings by simply having them "Hangout" with us. They don't have to travel and thus, our expense to have them speak to us is minimized!
