On Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 8am, I will be presenting “The Twittering Genealogist” at the Arizona Family History Expo.

For the benefit of those attending (and those who happen by), here is my complete slide presentation:

This Saturday, November 14, 2009 from 9:00 am to noon, the Arizona State Genealogical Society will hold an Advanced Methodology workshop.

First the group will analyze a case study and determine if the research objective was proved.

I then have the privilege of presenting “Navigating Research with the Genealogical Proof Standard.”  The presentation slides, handout, and a copy of the Genealogy Research Process Map can be found at: http://www.thinkgenealogy.com/map

I am really excited to meet the members of the society and share a topic that is very important to me.

If you are in Tucson, AZ this Saturday morning, you are invited to attend the workshop.  More information can be found at the Arizona State Genealogical Society site:

The 2009 BYU Conference on Family History and Genealogy will be held July 28-31 in Provo, Utah. The deadline for syllabus material is June 22.

My presentation is one I have done before: “Navigating Research with the Genealogical Proof Standard.” We are allotted 4 pages for the syllabus material and so far I have used 3. Here is a preview of the syllabus material. Please provide constructive feedback.

P.S.  I will be presenting on Friday, July 31 from 1:30-2:30 p.m.  My presentation is part of the Methodology track.  I love to meet my blog readers, so attend the presentation or stop by afterwards and introduce yourself.

At the Mesa Family History Expo 2008 held in November, I presented “Navigating Research with the Genealogical Proof Standard.”  On February 27, I will be presenting it again at the 5th Annual St. George Family History Expo 2009. I am seeking feedback from those who attended my class in November as well as those who have viewed the presentation slides online:

In March 2008, I presented at the BYU Family History Technology Workshop.  The topic was: 10 Things Genealogy Software Should Do.  The presentation slides are now also available on SlideShare.

Do you truly want to be an effective presenter?  There is more to it than adding bullet-pointed slides in your preferred presentation software.  I am a presenter at work and at genealogy conferences and I am excited about a new book:
