Highlights from the 2020 Family History Conference Program
I’m not normal; on this I’m clear. But for reasons that remain a mystery, I take an inordinate amount of pleasure from opening up a conference program for the first time, perusing the pages, and marking the presentations that catch my attention (in red ink, no less). Some lectures I mark because they address a hole in my knowledge base, and some lectures I mark just because they seem fascinating in some unusual or quirky way. What follows is my personal short list of presentations from the 2020 Family History Conference program.
