2019 - 2020 Calendar of Events

This is a work in progress and will be updated as events are brought to my attention. This is a public calendar I created in Google, listing all the upcoming events that are genealogy related. All times are added in East Coast time, so convert accordingly.

I've added: FREE webinars, Conferences, and other Education opportunities

Single-day events are usually FREE
Conferences (multiday events) have registration fees and have "$$$" in front of the title.

Please send me an email/ IM on Facebook if you have an event you want me to add to the calendar or if you find a mistake. This is a free service, Please enjoy.

Calendar for virtual webinars and conferences in the Genealogy world
