Speakers Within its membership, the Guild of One-Name Studies has a wealth of knowledge and expertise – both about One-Name Studies and broader genealogy topics and about general social, economic and architectural history. Some of our members do talks in their local areas or on a larger stage, and are willing to (and do!) contribute to events across the world. These members are listed below, along with their specialisms. If you would like to have someone speak at your event, please contact the Guild’s Education Liaison Officer to discuss your requirements or contact the member directly. Equally, if you would like to be included in this list, please contact the Guild’s Education Liaison Officer with a brief outline of the topics you can cover. Because of the diversity of the list in terms of topic and location the Guild is unable to warrant the quality of speakers on the list and recommends that interested parties make the usual enquiries before any formal invitation is given. Any ensuing booking will be a private arrangement between the two parties concerned for which the Guild accepts no responsibility or liability.
