Don’t miss out on the opportunity to attend great lectures by top-notch speakers on topics of interest to genealogists. We are making a concentrated effort to attract fresh lectures on subjects that have not been previously addressed. Programs at the hotel conference center by the staff of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, National Archives, and Library of Congress. Evening program and a great Vendor Showcase.
There will be a variety of workshops, include a special track of workshops and classes for beginners, as well as sessions for intermediate and advanced researchers. Workshops will be held in one of our two computer classrooms – PC or Mac.
The Resource Room will abound with books, maps and 40 computers (PC and Mac) for research. We will have links on the computers to two dozen databases that are normally fee-based, but for the conference, you will be able to use them for free.
We anticipate record-setting attendance, and that means more potential “cousins” and lots of networking.
