2012 Genealogy Conferences

A New Year, brings new genealogy plans. Many of us will be adding a genealogy conference or two on our list of to-dos for 2012. Therefore, it's time to update the 2012 Conference schedule. If there is conference you organize or one you plan on attending that is not on the list, drop me a line, I will be happy to add it. 


If you're having trouble deciding on which conference to attend, be sure to read Genealogy Conferences- Who Deserves Your Money? We discuss all the elements to consider before deciding on where to spend your conference dollars.
