Skype Conferencing

Thank you for your patience as we connected with genealogists in Poland. We will make sure we have a better Internet connection for the next cycle of Skype interviews. We learned that when a hotel states they have wireless it may be more like a 1200 baud modem c. 1985. We'll have our own wireless account for the next conference.

We practiced for months.

We made appointments to meet online,and queued on the Internet so Tomek could bring us into the Skype conversation, one by one. The free software is limited - we could have two video and audio connections active - and as soon as a third party joined, we had to switch to strictly audio. Rehearsals went so well that Kaisa's grandma sat down with us for one of the sessions. The Skype software allows you to make free audio and video call worldwide. It also allows for screen captures, I took the photos of the Gryczas with the software.
