Down UnderFeaturedPosted on 29 January 2014  by  Thomas MacEnteeReplyWell, in a few hours I fly out of Chicago to Hong Kong on my way to Australia where I’ll start a two-week genealogy speaking tour sponsored by Unlock the Past. With my first appearance in Brisbane on 1 February and ending on 15 February in Perth, I’ll also be one of the featured speakers on the 4th Unlock the Past Cruise from 3-13 February 2014.Visiting Australia has been on my bucket list FOREVER and I’m excited to meet many new genealogists and my Australian genealogy bloggers whom I’ve met at past RootsTech events. Over the two weeks I’ll be speaking in Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth as well as several lectures on-board Royal Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas.Fewer Posts at GeneaBloggersSo what does this mean about content here at GeneaBloggers? Well, I’ve tried to pre-post as much as possible and being on a cruise ship means not being “connected” in terms of The Internets.This means you will see a decrease in activity here and on all our social media properties until I return on 18 February 2014.
