Case studies will include the presenter's paternal ancestry from Aberdeenshire and his maternal ancestry from Ireland. GEPro should be installed on the participant’s personal device in advance if interested in trying its features during the workshop.

Participants will learn how to add informative placemarks and lines on a map, use polygons to highlight regions of interest, run automated tours of mapped points, include image overlays to give context to family history, and more!

This online workshop will demonstrate how family history details can be mapped using Google Earth Pro for desktop (GEPro). GEPro is a free downloadable application with many useful features for genealogy and digital mapping.

The Institute explores how traditions and cultures are created, adapted, reinterpreted and renewed, to meet new and challenging circumstances, whether here or abroad. Family History is certainly part of these processes and we are delighted to welcome Nicolas to speak to the Society
