Thursday, October 4th, 2018

Update to yesterday’s announcement that we had reached the capacity of the room…

I’ve been to the venue this morning, and we can add another 21 (or 42 if need be) places into the room for attendees to this year’s Got Ancestors?! So then what did you do? DNA! seminar with Your Genetic Genealogist CeCe Moore.

So registration is back open again, and don’t worry – everyone will still be able to sit on a chair at a table.

Room Full – A Happy? Problem

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2018

As at 3:30PM on Wednesday 3 October we have suspended registrations for the 2018 Got Ancestors?! Seminar with CeCe Moore – we have reached the capacity of the room when it is set up in “Classroom Style” with people seated at tables.

We are checking for possible other seating arrangements that might get some more people into the room, and hope to know about this tomorrow (Thursday 4 October), but for now Registrations are suspended.

I will accumulate a wait list on a first come, first served basis. If you want to be added to the wait list to be advised if more capacity is available, please send an eMail to Seminar@GotAncestors.com.

This Year’s Title

Monday, August 20th, 2018

The title of this year’s seminar So then what did you do? DNA! comes from a scene in one of last season’s episodes of Finding Your Roots where Dr Henry Louis Gates Jr and CeCe Moore are discussing the research, and Dr Gates asks CeCe Moore what the next step would be.

So then what did you do? DNA!
