I will be participating (virtually) in two regional genealogy conferences in the next two weeks. I am also preparing for the week-long Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy to be held (so far planned for in-person) in January 2022.
New York State Family History Conference
This conference offers 27 live and recorded sessions relevant to those with interests in New York State genealogy and beyond. It includes a star-studded line-up of genealogy speakers including: Judy G. Russell, Jill Morelli, Daniel Horowitz, Karen Mauer Jones, D. Joshua Taylor, Crista Cowan, and, yours truly.
The Plenary session was offered live on September 1st by author Russell Shorto. He presented, "The Truth About Family History." I found his talk inspiring. If you missed it, you will be able to listen to the recorded version, already online.
Five presentations each day will be available live (and later recorded) on Friday, September 10th and Saturday, September 25th. The September 25th sessions will also be repeated the following day.
In addition, 16 pre-recorded sessions will be offered on-demand. These sessions are available September 1 through October 18 for unlimited viewing. My talk, "Six Elements of Success for Beginning Ashkenazic Genetic Genealogists," is among the offerings.
UGA Summit of Excellence
This Utah Genealogical Association conference will be held virtually via Zoom, Wednesday through Saturday, September 15-18, 2021. Although Yom Kippur falls in the middle of the conference, recordings of all presentations will be available through December 31, 2021. Registration remains open until Sunday, September 12th. Both single day and full conference registration is available.
In addition to a keynote presentation by D. Joshua Taylor, you will be able to hear Crista Cowan, Judy G. Russell, Rev. David McDonald, Rich Venezia, Richard G. Sayer, Peggy Lauritzen, Angela Packer McGhie, Paul Woodbury, Mary Kircher Roddy, LaBrenda Garrett-Nelson, yours truly, and others.
My presentation,"It's What They Answered To: Learning Our Ashkenazic Ancestors' Names," will be offered Friday, September 17th at 10 A.M. (MDT).

Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy 2022
January 9-14, 2022
SLIG will offer eleven intermediate to advanced courses on focused genealogy research topics. I am pleased to share that I will be coordinating a course called "Back to the Old Country: Genealogy of Ashkenazic Jews of Galicia and the Russian Empire." The teaching cadre for this course is outstanding: Dr. Janette Silverman, Lara Diamond, Marian L. Smith (and me).
The course is geared to those who have already done some genealogy research but who want to expand their understanding of Ashkenazic Jewish research and historical context.
Registration is now open. See: https://slig.ugagenealogy.org/cpage.php?pt=627

Comments on posts are always welcome but will be approved before posting. I actually prefer to just let people comment without going through this rigmarole, but I've recently had to delete some posts that I had not vetted before publication. So, please don't be offended. I love to hear from you!
