Ah ... summer! It's that time when we love to travel, go to family reunions, locate cemeteries and go to genealogy events. There are many great genealogy conferences, jamborees, seminars, and expos being held between the last days of winter and the return of winter. Sometimes it is difficult to work all of them into a busy schedule.
It would be nice with one click on Internet to locate a listing of ALL genealogy events. However, if you are traveling and want to take in something of interest, here are some hints. The USGenWeb Genealogical Events Project has a few states with listings, contacts and links. Search the GenForum Upcoming Genealogy Events Forum for something of interest.
The National Archives in Washington, DC offers many workshops throughout the summer of 2009. These pertain to anything from military and land records to beginning research in the National Archives.
Until the snow flies, these are some genealogy events you might want to consider attending.
