I am the type of person who loves to learn. I don’t read any fiction of any kind (books
or magazines). With that said, I enjoy
going to Genealogy Conferences as it is a great opportunity to learn new things
as well as meet some very well-known (and not so well-known, but knowledgeable)
speakers.
Our local Genealogy Society is holding its 43rd
Annual Conference celebrating their 50th year on Friday and Saturday
this week. Friday afternoon has breakout
sessions (new this year) and I will be learning about NARA Records that
Genealogists Aren’t Using, Getting the Most from FamilySearch, Scanning Tips
and Tricks and Treasures at the Courthouse.
Just the type of information I need!
On Saturday, our Speaker will be Jana Broglin, CG, OGSF
(whom I have never heard of before) and she will be talking about black sheep
ancestors and how there may be clues in unusual records that lead to locating
more records, alternative Civil War records, newspaper research including how
to add social history to your ancestor’s lives, and organization of your home
office (which I could use more than anyone could imagine!).
I can’t wait for Friday to get here – these topics are all
of interest to me!! I sure hope I can
learn some valuable information and find more records from all the sources I
will be learning about!
