It's "save the date" season for German/Russian/Eastern European genealogy conferences and conventions, and time to plan your summer vacations and genealogy road trips around them.
If I had one wish, and I try to make one wish a day for good measure, I would wish all of these organizations and others like them would have some online presentations as a part of their conferences. A few webinar sessions would open up the content to both audiences and speakers worldwide who are not otherwise able to attend. There you go. My wish for today.
Here's a round up of the larger events in the order of appearance through the summer.
