Terry and Jim Willard will be presenting on the subject, TBD,

 

From 1995-2000, they served as co-hosts for the popular PBS Television series Ancestors, traveling around the country conducting workshops and promoting the series from Washington, D.C., to San Francisco, CA, and from Dallas, TX, to Portland, ME. They co-authored (along with Jane Wilson) the book ANCESTORS: A Beginner’s Guide to Family History and Genealogy that accompanied the series. They also wrote the teacher’s guide that helped teachers and students benefit from viewing the series. Since then they have conducted workshops throughout Florida, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Texas, California, and each of the New England states. They especially enjoy getting feedback from their beginners’ workshops as they are freelance writers who specialize in genealogy. They have published over 40 articles in Ancestry Magazine and they write a monthly column for The Villages Daily Sun. They have spoken at genealogy conferences throughout the United States and take a group of adult students to Salt Lake City for a research trip annually
