Lunch with a Lighthearted View of Genealogy

As a convenience to conference attendees, TxSGS is offering an optional add-on lunch for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. On Friday and Sunday, those that purchase the lunch will be treated to genealogy on the lighter side by well-known speakers Cari Taplin and Susan Kaufman.

Friday, October 11, 2019

Cari Taplin shares tales of raising kids while chasing family connections in “How Potty Training Can Improve Your Genealogy: True Tales of Dragging My Kids Through Cemeteries.” According to Cari, “When I got started in genealogy, my first child was the proverbial bun in the oven. As I learned how to be a genealogist and a mom, we experienced some fun lessons together.” Hear about the crazy things kids say and moms do while on the quest to discover their roots.

Susan Kaufman, TxSGS’s own Filby Award honoree, will recount “Tales from the Reference Desk.” Walking into a research facility can be overwhelming—you need to be organized, directed, and know what you are looking for. In this lighthearted view of situations from the other side of the reference desk, you might just get some ideas on how to be more successful when engaging an information professional.
