Join the Demanding Genealogist for Weekly Evening Breakouts During May, 2021

 

Motif #1, Rockport, Massachusetts

Missing our usual hallway meetups at NERGC? Wishing you could spend an evening over a Sam Adams with your friends, catching up? Want to start your day at the Dunkin Donuts, sure to spot a few friends in line getting their iced coffee and donut? Well, we can’t do that, but we can use technology to give ourselves some break time.

The Demanding Genealogist will host five breakout Zoom meetings during the last month of NERGC. We can say Hi to each other, talk about how much fun we’re having at NERGC, and relax with our personal beverage of choice.[1] We’ll also take a little bit of time to talk with our friends from outside New England about our regional ways of doing things, with a focus on family history. Very roughly, each hangout will be divided into one-third social time, one-third small group breakouts, and one-third answering questions.

The Zoom meetings are limited to 100 people each week. You need to register separately for each one.
