TIGR 2023

Are you ready to take your genealogy research to the next level? Do you want to learn from some of the top genealogy lecturers from the comfort of your home? Would you like to spend time with like-minded individuals in an interactive environment while sharing experiences and tackling some of the questions you face in your own research? If so, the Texas Institute of Genealogical Research (TIGR) is just what you need in 2023.

Genealogical institutes are designed to provide in-depth and extensive instruction on a particular topic or timeframe. The Texas Institute of Genealogical Research is just that – an educational event that focuses on topics important to genealogists who want to advance their research skills.

Held every other year, TIGR is a unique five-day learning experience offered to address a critical need for genealogists encountering complex challenges.

TIGR promotes learning in an instructional classroom atmosphere, taking each attendee’s skills to another level. Course coordinators and instructors lead students through a progression of topics on the same subject. Throughout the week, TIGR combines in-depth lessons and great discussions with instructors and classmates to enhance attendees’ learning experience.

Established in 2017, TIGR began with a single course, expanding to four courses in 2021 as TIGR added classes to meet the needs of its growing audience. Held virtually for the first time due to the pandemic, TIGR 2021 drew participants from more than 30 states. Many attendees were grateful to attend virtually as they were constrained from travel yet still wanted the intensive instruction provided by TIGR coordinators and lecturers.

Each TIGR strives to build on the solid foundation of the previous event with new topics and speakers dedicated to providing courses that meet the demands of an audience eager to take a deep dive into the subjects designed to further their genealogical journey.

What began as one course offering an immersive learning experience in 2017 has expanded into a program with the following seven courses in 2023.
