Genealogical Events

Here are some wonderful genealogical events you might want to consider for the upcoming year. Some of these events will require hotel and travel expenses. It is important to plan ahead; set up a savings or budget for these events in advance. Most of these organizations have the dates for their events set up at least a couple years in advance. While the fees may vary, they are usually not that much different year to year. The friends and networking opportunities, along with the knowledge you will gain, will well be worth the financial commitment.
