As promised, Og has three more exciting videos from the 2008 Federation of Genealogical Societies Conference.
But first, Og wants to let you know that the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) has incorporated a player of RootsTelevision.com videos into their website! Check it out! Oh, and if there are any other societies interested in incorporating video on their own websites, let Og know and we’ll get that going lickety-split.
OK, now back to FGS. Here are this week’s interviews
FGS Interview #5:
Dick Eastman interviews Paul Nauta, Manager of Public Affairs for FamilySearch, about the Family History Library, the website, and the latest developments with digitizing, transcribing and sharing millions of records on http://pilot.familysearch.org.
FGS Interview #6:
Dick Eastman’s next interview is with Feargal O’Donnell, Vice Chairman of the Irish Family History Foundation, about the availability of Irish records -- especially new ones online and myths about their existence and non-existence. For those of Irish ancestry, he gives cause for optimism!
FGS Interview #7:
This week’s last interview from FGS is with Maureen Taylor, the Photo Detective. She talks with Dick Eastman about her recent appearance on the Today Show, an article about her in the Wall Street Journal, and her upcoming History Channel series, The Photo Detective. Way to go, Maureen!
And guess what? There are more FGS videos coming next week! Og is so excited and hopes you are, too! Thanks for watching!
