All of the genealogy tours tend to sell out at least 7
months ahead of the time they start. However, with the increased interest, this
time frame is changing drastically. Although we are still 14 months away from
the 2016 tour, there are only 7 spaces left.
Once I get back from Scotland , I will start the
conference/talk circuit and anticipate that will spots will be filled before
mid summer.
If traveling to Scotland to research your family
history, by gaining access to records not available online, is something you
are interested in, book now before you lose the opportunity.
Year after year, as I take people to Scotland to
research their family history, I hear participants tell me, "as soon as I
stepped on Scottish soil, I felt like I was home. I knew I belonged." There is no greater, more humbling experience
than traveling to the land of your ancestors. The feelings of belonging and
connection are powerful and make a compelling argument for the idea of memory
being passed down through our DNA.
All of this culminates in an irreducible sense of belonging
as you walk the streets they walked, see the houses they lived in, the
factories they worked in, the churches they worshiped in. These moments provide
a deep sense of affinity for your ancestors. A deep appreciation of their
battles and struggles. A sense of pride as they overcame in order to carry on.
You come to understand not only their story but also your own history. How you
came to be.
