• Friday 8 August 1pm-4pm: Pre-Expo AI Workshop $40 per person - Ancestors Intelligence - Using AI for Family History with Fiona Brooker

6pm: Keynote 1: Welcome address. Topic - The "Getting it Right" photos with Sarah Hewitt, chair of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists
Who are the people in the photos that introduce the NZSG’s Getting It Right videos?

Genealogy without Borders with Chris Paton, Scotland's Greatest Story. Irish born Chris Paton As family historians, we can be tempted to try to tell the stories of our ancestors solely from the resources in the areas where they once lived, but in this talk, genealogist Chris Paton examines why the consideration of the extended family around the world can be particularly fruitful for your family history research also. As part of a wider worldwide diaspora, Chris will show how emigrant family members provided him with clues to their stories overseas, often with records that plugged the missing gaps in research for family members back home, and giving him a much broader understanding of his family at both home and abroad.

Book online with Eventfinda:
www.eventfinda.co.nz...

• Saturday 9 August 2025: $5 door charge
