Y'all, it's almost that time again! VGA Conference time! If you're not familiar with the super fun Virtual Genealogical Association's annual conference - and for your chance to win a free pass - read on!
What's VGA?
The Virtual Genealogical Association is a community of family history enthusiasts and genealogy professionals from a round the world. We have an annual 3-day conference, monthly webinars, and we have meet-ups at other societies' in-person conferences and events. There are also other perks to VGA membership - like a discount to the VGA conference, and more! So check out the About Us section on the VGA website.
Membership is only $20 per year and you can join here!
Virtual Conference?
The 2020 VGA Conference is three full days of genealogical education. And it comes to you all from the comfort of - well - anywhere you are! There are four pre-recorded sessions (of which my lecture is a part), and live classes from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. EST. It's a fun bunch, so don't expect to be bored, y'all!
Who's speaking?
Our speakers include well-known genealogical speakers from around the world. Their presentations will cover topics ranging from religious records to military records, strategies for various ethnic groups, genealogy research methods, and using DNA in your research.
My presentation covers the 5 most common difficult discoveries a genealogist might make in their research. Because families are often more complicated than polished family histories and well-organized family trees. Learn how and why to proceed with caution, and get healing tools for use in grappling with the other side of genealogy.
