This year’s Fox Valley Genealogical Society (FVGS) conference features popular genealogists, Lou Szucs and Juliana Smith.  There will be four one-hour presentations: Getting Started on Ancestry.com What’s New at Ancestry.com Getting the Most from your Family History Finds They Became Americans: Finding Naturalizations and Ethnic Origins

Early today I came across the latest information about this year’s Midwestern Roots Conference.  The conference, put on by the Indiana Historical Society (IHS) will be held July 20-21, 2012 in Indianapolis.  I’ve had conflicts in previous years, but this year, I finally get to go!

Preparing for my trip to RootsTech 2012: Review syllabi of session to make a final decision on which to attend Add selected session syllabi to Kindle Fire RootsTech app on Android phone (also Apple App Store) Expo Hall map saved to cell phone and Kindle Fire Families app on Kindle Fire (synched with Legacy and ready to go) FHL research list Important research documents saved to the cloud Research toolkit (including laptop, Flip-Pal scanner, notebook, pencils, camera) GeneaBlogger beads (geesh, I almost forgot!!)  

Don’t forget to visit the Expo Hall while attending the RootsTech 2012 conference.  This is your chance to learn more about genealogy-related products and services.
