Genealogy Conference and Education

Continuing your Genealogy and Family Research Education

Attending a genealogy conference is one of the most rewarding things you can do as a family researcher or professional genealogist. Not only will you benefit from the genealogy research education but you can hear about the different areas and opportunities that are out there. Genealogy education is something that never ends.
