Join us for the 2021 TxSGS Family History Conference, where we focus on Connecting Generations across borders and time! This year’s event remains virtual due to the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we wish we could be together in person, we’re taking advantage of the latest technology to bring us together “virtually.” On Friday and Saturday, October 1-2, TxSGS Live! features ten presentations by some of the top speakers in genealogy on research techniques, records, DNA, and more.
That’s not all! These lectures will be recorded, including the live question and answer session, and combined with 30 additional pre-recorded lectures from some of your favorite speakers plus well-known presenters from across Texas and the U.S. Even though you won’t be able to see them in person, you will be able to access their lectures online through December 31, 2021.
What will take your genealogy research to the next level? The 2021 TxSGS Family History Conference, Connecting Generations, seeks to help hundreds of attendees discover the tools needed to answer your genealogy questions.
