I hope these live recordings give you a feel for the buzz and excitement these lectures create among the Irish audience - you will hear me facilitating the questions and answer session after each lecture, and you will find some fascinating discussions there!

| Legacy Family Tree Webinars is the new home for the GGI videos |
We have been running this annual conference in Dublin since 2013. It consists of 2-3 days of DNA Lectures from leading genetic genealogists in Ireland, the UK and Worldwide. In 2018, we started a second DNA Lecture series, this time in Belfast, which proved just as popular as the Dublin lectures.
These two annual conferences report on all the latest developments in genetic genealogy, with a special focus on their application to Irish genealogy, which (as we all know) can be particularly challenging. Admission to these lectures is completely free and traditionally the speakers do not get honoraria or travel expenses so all their hard work is a reflection of their love for genetic genealogy and a desire to advance the field. The move to Family Tree Webinars will hopefully help the speakers recoup some of their expenses. Membership costs $49.95 per year and gives you access to hundreds of educational videos on all aspects of genealogy - check out their list of videos here. This initiative also exposes GGI to a whole new customer base and helps spread the word about the benefits of genetic genealogy.
Previously the video recordings of the GGI lectures have been uploaded to the dedicated GGI YouTube Channel and you will still find over 100 educational videos on that channel. These videos will continue to be available for free, as a service to the community. And additional free videos will be added from time to time. You can see a complete list of all the topics and speakers at each conference from the past 7 years on the GGI website here.
You should also check out our associated GGI Facebook group - it's free to join and has over 6000 members who are eager to help you with your genealogical queries.
