Organize Your Family History

Stay focused and happy while exploring your roots

Looking forward to next weekend’s Midwestern Roots conference

July 9, 2016 By Janine Adams 4 Comments

On Thursday, I head to Indianapolis for the Midwestern Roots Family History and Genealogy conference. I’m very excited. I see that it’s sold out! I’m sure it will be a stimulating, educational experience. I love conferences in general and especially love  genealogy conferences. I haven’t been to one in almost a year, so I feel past due!

The syllabus was posted yesterday and I just checked it out. I’m all the more excited! It looks like a terrific program. I see that there are a couple of sessions that will help me make the most of my week-long research trip to the Allen County Public Library next week. I’m so happy about that.

I saved the PDF of the syllabus to Evernote for easy access during the conference on my computer and phone, so I feel like I’m all set. (Hint for people who have registered: The password to open the syllabus is in the reservation acknowledgement email, with the subject line “IHS Confirmation.” It took me a minute to find it so I thought I’d save you the trouble.)

When I registered, I posted here and heard from a few readers who are also attending. I’ll be getting in touch this week to arrange to get together. If you’re attending and you’d like to meet (and we haven’t already communicated about it), please leave a comment or send me an email.

I’m very excited about this learning opportunity. And I look forward to multiplying the benefit by meeting readers of this blog!

    Travel safe and share what you learn! I let this one get away from me, but am thinking about FGS in Springfield, IL. But have family in and out of my house around that time, so I need to really look at the dates.

      Thanks, Lori! I’m so glad I met you at RootsTech in 2014 and I look forward to seeing you again before too long! I won’t be able to go to FGS this year–that’s the week I’m in Washington state visiting family. I do think I’ll try to get to RootsTech in 2017 (I submitted a proposal to co-present a class!). Maybe I’ll see you there?

about me

I'm Janine Adams, a professional organizer and a genealogy enthusiast. I love doing family history research, but I find it's very easy for me to get overwhelmed and not know where to turn next. So I'm working hard to stay organized and feel in control as I grow my family tree.

In this blog, I share my discoveries and explorations, along with my organizing challenges (and solutions). I hope by sharing what I learn along the way I'll be able to help you stay focused and have fun while you do your research, too.
