May 2026 Podcast
podcast (episode 11 of season 4), genealogist Dave Miller talks about all the IGSI events scheduled for the month.
Dave interviewed the head of Irish Fest of the Fox Cities, Mark Hudson, who talked about how a middle-sized city in the U.S. is preparing for their sixth Irish Fest.
IGSI’s Irish Saturday will be held on May 9 at the Hoffman Research library, located in the Minnesota Genealogy Center, Mendota Heights, Minnesota. If you’re in the area and have a genealogy question regarding your Irish research, stop by.
The May webinar, with Mary Wickersham and Gigi Hickey, is titled “Old Records, New Tools: An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Genealogists.” (Curious about AI but not sure where to start—or whether it's even relevant to tracing your ancestors?) This presentation will be available both online and in person and is scheduled for Saturday, May 16, from 10:30 AM until Noon (Central Daylight Time). The fee to watch this webinar in person and online is $15 for members and $20 for non-members. The live portion of the webinar will be held at the Minnesota Genealogy Center.
Our Social Gaggle for the month of May will be Tuesday, May 19, from 6:30-8 PM on Zoom. It is open to all, and there is no registration. (A quick reminder: there's still time to participate in the April Social Gaggle, which will occur Tuesday, April 21, from 6:30-8 PM. Get Zoom link on Events tab at left.)
