John has made two trips to the Belfast area to do genealogical research — in 2004 and 2006. Armed with notes on family history given to him by his grandfather in the 60s — some of which turned out to be quite inaccurate — he and his sister attempted to identify members of their great-great grandfather's family. They spent long hours examining records available at the various research locations in Belfast and talked with local family historians. However, it was a last-minute visit to a cemetery that produced the most exciting find.
The educational talk, starting at 9 am, is Ten Tips for Genetic Genealogy given by some guy named John D Reid.
