What’s New on Our Calendar to August 6, 2023

150 new genealogy events were added to our calendar this past week!
>>The list of ALL the NEWLY ADDED events is further down this post.<<
See the full CALENDAR or VIRTUAL CALENDAR for
ALL of the upcoming genealogy events.

. . . . . .

I sometimes need to use ConferenceKeeper on my phone, and I know it isn’t the best experience, so I created something new this week that hopefully some of you will find helpful. It’s called aMicroSite which is basically a quick link that opens a very clean page with the most-used “buttons” to take you right where you want to go on the website. (Once there, you can always navigate anywhere you want as you usually would).  You can use this link on any internet-connected device: computer, smartphone, or tablet. Try it out and see if you find it useful: pxl.to/CKmini

Lots of other tidbits of info to share with you too, so please read on!

As always, information below contains no affiliate links and is not any kind of paid advertising — it’s good genealogy news to know!

 . . . .

NEW & NOTABLE THIS WEEK:
