Join us for a lively, interactive online session where the collective knowledge of the Society of Genealogists community comes together to tackle your toughest family history challenges.

This is your chance to tap into our genealogy hive mind – a place where curiosity meets experience, and where no question is too small, too unusual, or too complicated. Whether you’re staring at a stubborn “brick wall” in your research, puzzling over a cryptic record, or trying to unravel the mystery of which of the many John Smiths in your tree is your John Smith, help is at hand.

You’ll have the opportunity to share your queries with a welcoming group of fellow researchers, including our seasoned experts and long-standing members who’ve spent years navigating the twists and turns of archives, records, and historical sources. Together, we’ll share tips, offer fresh perspectives, and suggest new avenues for your search – so you can make progress where you might have felt stuck.

Whether you’re a beginner needing a nudge in the right direction or a seasoned genealogist in search of a second opinion, you’ll leave with new ideas, useful resources, and renewed enthusiasm for your research journey.

Come along, join the conversation, and see how far the hive mind can take you.
