The Search for Judith
Would you like to see how a YouTube event is recorded? Come to the AFHS Resource Centre on June 27th for the inaugural presentation of our new Alberta Roots feature.
Alberta Roots is a new YouTube channel for presenting fascinating stories from our own members. Join our live audience to experience the storytelling of family history by one of our own. This will be video recorded and then published on a new YouTube channel for the public.
This first recording event will be of our member, Glynn Davis, telling the story of a quest for a lost niece, the daughter of Glynn’s uncle, who signed up in World War Two with the RAF, only to die overseas. He left his wife and daughter behind. Follow Glynn’s sharing of this tragic story as Glynn’s mother, then Glynn and his brother try to find the daughter and make a family connection. Glynn will share the path of searching for Judith, before the days of internet and commercial genealogy websites.
The recording will be done in our AFHS Resource Centre on June 27th, a Saturday, starting at 1 pm and running about two hours. The address is Suite 251S, 8500 Macleod Trail, S.E. Seating is available in the room and there will be time for Q & A from the audience. The event will be released in a couple of weeks on YouTube, in case you cannot attend in person. This is an in-person event and will not be on Zoom. The intent is to have new episodes created monthly, interviewing different members with their intriguing family stories.
