So - is WDYTYA? Live worth visiting? I've been twice, and have to admit that it is a hell of way to go for a genealogy event if you live in Scotland. However, it is also a fantastic event, and despite the hassle and the cost, is worth visiting at least once if you are a keen family historian and looking for some useful advice, tips and specialist genealogical resources.
I have blogged about the last two events at Who Do You Think You Are? LIVE - report (2008) and Who Do You Think You Are? Live 2009 report. Hopefully this year will be as good as the last two - but please, let's not have another kilted 'Scottish Saturday' tagged on at the last minute in a desperate bid to try and get the Scottish vote! That definitely felt as if somebody had at the last minute cottoned onto the fact that this year was Homecoming Scotland - mind you, I'd be up for an English Friday with some good Morris dancing, an Irish Saturday for a cribeen eating contest, and a Welsh Sunday for a big songfest!!
