My Geneablogger Friends and Me at Congress 2012
The 13th Australasian Congress of Genealogy & Heraldry which was held in Adelaide over the past few days (28-31 March 2012). With regular Facebookers, Tweeters, GPlus’ers and bloggers, I had a feeling that Congress was going to have the best social media coverage of any Aussie genie event to date, and I think I was right.
As Congress attracts people from all around Australia and New Zealand, and to a smaller degree elsewhere overseas – knowing that so many geneabloggers were together in the one place was too good an opportunity to miss a photo … so I sent a tweet out to meet up in the lunch break on the last day and hoped others would turn up. And turn up they did, there were 11 of us there, with 2 missing unfortunately.
A big thanks to Geniaus who organised Mr Geniaus to come down and be official photographer (many thanks for that) :D.
So for those of you who follow the tweets and blogs of genealogists and historians from Australia (and one from New Zealand), here is your chance to put a face to a name (or twitter name).
Here are my Geneablogger friends and me at Congress 2012.

Thanks for posting this Alona, especially including everyone’s blogs. I’m starting to think I should join the tweeters too.
Kylie
My pleasure Kylie. Oh do come and join us on Twitter. If you do, trust me you’ll learn SOOO much. The genie people (meaning individuals/groups/museums etc.) I follow on Twitter have taught me so much – it’s been invaluable
