The Ohio Genealogical Society has opened up registration for its 2019 Conference in Mason, Ohio this coming May.

This is my second year attending and speaking at this excellent jam-packed conference. I invite you to join me there.

The Conference takes place Wednesday, May 1, 2019 – Saturday, May 4, 2019 at the Great Wolf Lodge Convention Center in Mason, Ohio.

The theme for the conference is Building a Heritage, featuring over ninety sessions on topics such as military, technology, DNA, ethnicity, methodology, records, problem-solving, and Ohio. The keynote speaker for the conference is David E. Rencher from FamilySearch.

My Sessions

I am giving two traditional one-hour lectures, as well as teaching a two-hour workshop that will allow us to go more in-depth with those particular collections.
