The Future of Genealogy Education
Session 2B, 11.45-12.45
Genealogy is at a cusp – increasing professionalism requires more formal educational provision, and the public is coming to expect educational and professional credentials.
At the same time, Genealogical Studies is becoming a recognised academic discipline. How will this be delivered, and what are the implications for existing and intending professional genealogists.

Author of over 16 books on historical, IT and genealogical subjects plus crime fiction, and many magazine and newspaper articles, he is best known for weekly appearances on “Digging Up Your Roots” and “A House with a Past” for the BBC.
His latest book is Scottish Genealogy (The History Press, 2010)
Dr Bruce Durie appears with the support of the Halsted Trust

Dear Bruce,
Today I found your information on the internet. My ancestors are from Paris and named Charles and Mathurin Du Ry.
I hope being able to establish the relation between the French/Durch Du Ry’s and your family. My ancestors claim having the same coats of arms with Confido in it!?
I would be very glad to get in contact with you somehow.
Kind regards,
Olav Du Ry van Beest Holle (you see there were some additions)
