Speakers Bureau

TxSGS maintains a Speakers Bureau as a dual benefit for our Partner Societies and for our members who are genealogical speakers.

About the Speakers Bureau

Many societies struggle with locating good speakers for meetings and workshops. Texas State Genealogical Society is committed to assisting societies with this effort.  The Speakers Bureau includes both in-state and out-of-state speakers who are willing to be presenters in Texas. Speakers who are TxSGS members have additional information about themselves and their topics available for viewing by clicking the “View PDF” link.

Joining the Speakers Bureau

The Speakers Bureau is open to any genealogical speaker willing to speak in Texas. If you would like to be added, please complete our Speaker Information form or contact our Membership Director by email at membership@txsgs.org.


Other Speakers & Topics

These organizations may help you locate a speaker:

You can also reach out to speakers on the Genealogy Speaker + Society Connection Facebook group.

I recently published a book of my personal DNA Surprise and Journey to the truth. “If You Only Knew: Navigating DNA Surprises and The NPE World”. My presentation touches on areas that many genealogist do not encounter in their daily research projects, but I find are interesting topics to many . I approach NPEs (Not-Parent Expected) situations and Centimorgan information. My presentation is interactive and audience inclusive.
