FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THREE PROFESSIONALS UNITE TO PRESENT #GENCHAT;
GENEALOGY TWITTER CHATS
Corn
& Cotton Genealogy, Finding Our Ancestors and Ancestral Journeys Will Start
Regular Twitter Chats in January, 2013
If you are interested in learning about resources, skills,
methodology and techniques to further your family history research, the help
you need may have just arrived.
Three genealogy professionals: Stephanie
Pitcher Fishman, owner of Corn & Cotton Genealogy; Terri O’Connell, owner
of Finding Our Ancestors; and Jen Baldwin, owner of Ancestral Journeys; are
reaching across state lines using the power of Twitter to answer your questions and create
an environment of collaboration.
Beginning January 25, 2013, they will combine their efforts to bring you
#genchat, a Twitter Chat focusing on
genealogy related topics, skills and questions. The chat will be hosted every
two weeks, beginning at 9:00pm CST, and lasting for one hour. The chats will be
oriented towards hobbyist genealogists and family historians; all interested
are welcome to participate.
Between them, they bring 43 years of genealogy research
experience to the Twitter platform. Individually, they each run a professional
genealogy business and their areas of expertise range from the Midwestern United
States, to integrating family history into home education, and the Rocky
Mountain corridor. Each are also involved in various genealogy related
projects, such as the digi-mag, The In-Depth Genealogist, and the upkeep of Conference Keeper, a site dedicated to compiling
world-wide resources on educational opportunities for family historian’s.
To contact the hosts directly, or to schedule an interview,

This sounds like a wonderful idea. I wonder how many more wonderful opportunities I can squeeze in? I wish you all of the best in your efforts.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kathy, hope you can join us, even if its sporadic. There is a lot to choose from out there, isn't there? I have a hard time, myself. Thanks for reading, and for commenting! ~ Jen
DeleteBrilliant! I will definitely be following along on the 25th.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I enjoy about this community is the number of generous people that do so much to support each other.
