The Family History Show to go online on June 20th

From TheGenealogist (www.thegenealogist.co.uk):

TheGenealogist is attending and sponsoring The Family History Show, Online 2020 and are pleased to bring you this update.

We're really excited to introduce a new virtual experience from The Family History Show that will be taking place next month. We look forward to (virtually) seeing you there!

The great news about this virtual event is that you are still going to be able to safely enjoy access to many of the usual features of the physical shows. The Online Family History Show will be on 20th June featuring a wide range of virtual stalls from family history societies to archives and suppliers, including TheGenealogist!

Mirroring the format of the very successful live shows, The Family History Show Online will feature an online lecture theatre, the popular 'Ask the Experts' area where you can put questions forward to specialists, as well as a whole host of stalls so you can ask for advice as well as buy genealogical products.

To make this online experience as useful to family historians as attending the physical show would have been, you can "visit" a stall in the virtual exhibition hall. With over 85 exhibitors currently attending there will be a wide variety of societies and companies. Here there will be the opportunity to talk to some of the stallholders by text, audio or video from the comfort of your own home. With this facility you can ask them for advice, talk to them about your own research and also purchase various items from their online stall.

The virtual lecture theatre gives you the chance to watch talks from the same lecturers who would have been at the York event. These presentations will cover a wide variety of family history topics and will be available throughout the day.

Tickets to attend The Family History Show Online are currently available for only £5.50. All attendees will also receive a Virtual Goody Bag on the day worth over £10.
