Scott_J
Sorry, playing catch up here. Got a few weeks behind.
Week 44: Genealogy Conferences. What was your best genealogy conference experience? Why is it so memorable in your mind? Who hosted the event? What did you learn from this experience? How does it impact your genealogy research today?
Write a journal on FamilyTreeCircles about Genealogy Conferences
http://www.familytreecircles.com/ejournal.php
When you do, please put ?[52 Weeks]? in the journal title somewhere so I can be sure to see it and feature it right here in this post. (I?m switching to a standard thing to put in the title, which will make it easier).
52 Weeks of Abundant Genealogy ?by? Amy Coffin ?is a series of weekly blogging prompts (one for each week of 2012) that invite genealogists and others to discuss resources in the genealogy community including websites, applications, libraries, archives, genealogical societies and more.

yahnm1 on 2012-11-12 11:16:20I attended my first conference in September 2012 at the Latter Day Saints church on the westside stake in Albuquerque, NM. It was awesome plus the price was right--free. It was the first time they had attempted a conference but there were very few problems. I learned a lot about doing research. Each hour had 4 or more choices. A few were repeated but no way to go to every class offered. Many of the presenters were well known genealogists. For those holding back from attending the Latter Day Saints conferences are great since they are free. Personally I am the head of our local genealogical society and work in the Family History Library one day a week so I have done a lot of research and helped a lot of people with their research.
