By 4 Comments

Registration is now open for the St. Louis Genealogy Conference, sponsored by the St. Louis Stake of the LDS church, to be held Saturday, October 13, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 15081 Clayton Road, Chesterfield, MO 63107.

I will be one of the speakers. My topic is “Staying Focused in Your Genealogy Research.” (Many thanks to those of you who weighed in on this post and helped me decide on a topic.)

I’m excited for the conference–it looks like a terrific line up of speakers and topics. Topics include courthouse research, early American research, newspaper research, DNA, and sessions on specific repositories. This will be my third year attending (and second year speaking). It’s a well-organized, professional conference. And it’s free! If you’re in St. Louis, I encourage you to register. And please introduce yourself to me when you’re there!

I attended last year’s St. Louis Genealogy Conference, a free conference sponsored by the LDS church, and it was terrific. So I was delighted to be invited to present at this year’s conference! The theme is Remembering Families.

The registration for the conference, which will be held Saturday, October 14, just opened. If you’re interested, you can register here. I will be presenting twice on the same topic, Going Paperless in Your Genealogy Research. If you’re a regular reader here, you know that’s a passion of mine.

The lineup looks great, with presentations on social media, maps, Missouri Digital Archives, researching Civil War ancestors, and German research, among other topics. If you plan to attend, please let me know in the comments or via email!

Join the mailing list!

When you first join the list, I’ll send you a few emails to help you organize your family history. After that you’ll hear from me at the end of every month when I send an email with links to that month’s posts. And every now and then, I’ll let you know when I have something special to promote.
