Happy New Year!
I'm attending the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy (SLIG) this week practicing on my analytical skills in Angela McGhie's Advanced Evidence Analytical Practicum. The first case was a challenge--I had to 5 female relatives of an unnamed woman. My only clue was her married name and a location. I found three of the women, then I ran short on time to find the others. Not an easy assignment to do in just a few hours.
Before I start the next assignment, I wanted to mention that there are a few other conferences coming up this spring.
RootsTech and FGS are side-by-side in February in Salt Lake City. Former First Lady Laura Bush will be a keynote speaker. Here's the blog: https://rootstech.org/?lang=eng
Jamboree (hosted by the So. California Genealogy Society) will take place the first weekend in June in Burbank, CA. Here's the blog: http://genealogyjamboree.blogspot.com/
NGS will be in St. Louis, Missouri the 2nd weekend of May. Here's the blog: http://conference.ngsgenealogy.org/
I'll definitely be at Jamboree in June, but I won't make it to the others. And if you can't either, here's the good news--these conferences will air several sessions online so we can watch them in the comfort of our homes with our computers. So, check their websites for details.
