Speaker Presentations…

Is your library, group or society seeking experienced insights and guidance into researching family history, traditions, names, migrations? If you are, ManyRoads is happy to work with you to discuss speaker arrangements.

  • Fees: Negotiable
  • Remote Presentations: Preferred.
  • Travel Costs  (as required): These charges will cover my extra time requirements and travel related costs.
  • Presentation Equipment Needs: to be provided by the hiring group.

I suspect that no one will request my ‘august’ presence on very short notice.  If that assumption is correct (you have to love nested assumptions), anything in the list above and in the list below is a potential for a genealogical presentation/ talk. In this Covid world, I prefer to conduct presentations remotely; under special arrangements and at additional cost, I can travel to your group. Whichever works best for your group, works best for me.

Below slides and background materials from ManyRoads’ earlier presentations.  These are offered as free self-help.

Current & Past Presentations

 

Here are excerpts of comments I have received on my presentations:

Thank you so much. I will take your information to our next meeting and ask the members what they would most like to learn. The Colorado Genealogical Council has a speakers list available for all the genealogical societies and I would like to add your name and information to that list. I’m very excited about what you have to offer. Thanks again.

Thank you very much for your program June 12th and PGS is looking forward to Oct 9th. I would love to see any programs you give wherever they are and to the Colorado Genealogical Council and Parker Family History center. The [people] who are in charge of the Family History Center will be in touch with you about your programs and when they might be. I was asked by the Colorado Genealogical Council to give them names of people I knew who are great speakers. I gave them your name. Thank you for your interest and for just being you.
