SUMMARY:Genealogical Miracles with guest speaker Ken McKinlay
DESCRIPTION:VIRTUAL\, via Zoom\n  \nKen will be taking a sometimes-humorous look at some of the very interesting gaffs and errors that can be found in family trees such as “Resurrection”\, “The well preserved”\, and “Time travellers”. At the same time\, he will cover how to hopefully prevent those same pesky genealogical miracles from appearing in our own trees. \nRegister HERE: bit.ly/2026-04-13-KenMcKinlay \nHosted by the Bruce County Genealogical Society. \n \n  \nAbout Ken: \nEmbarking on a genealogical adventure over two decades ago\, Ken McKinlay’s quest began with a mission to confirm or debunk three family stories. Despite uncovering the truths behind those initial tales\, Ken’s passion for delving into his family’s past remains steadfast\, fueled by a constant stream of new questions. As a sought-after speaker by branches of Ontario Ancestors\, the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa\, and other genealogy societies across Canada\, Ken McKinlay shares his expertise through engaging talks and workshops. His topics have included researching those who have fought for Canada in the world wars\, exploring the Canadian censuses\, delving into the mysteries of Ontario Land Records\, and an eight-part series covering “Back to Basics” research for the British Isles. In 2025 he made his debut with Legacy Family Tree Webinars with his talk “Exploring Library and Archives Canada Online”. \n  \nHis presentations also focus on genealogical methodologies and overcoming genealogy brick walls. Beyond public speaking\, Ken shares his insights on his blog\, Family Tree Knots (https://familytreeknots.blogspot.com)\, providing a valuable resource for fellow enthusiasts.
