DON’T MISS
As always there are so many really excellent genealogy education opportunities in this week’s additions! Be sure to peruse the whole list (farther down) but I wanted to mention a couple in particular. As always, these are just points of interest, and absolutely not paid advertising.

  • If you’re researching Norwegian ancestors, the Colorado Sons of Norway & Denver Public Library have several classes coming up on the calendar. To locate these classes, search Norway in the upper left corner box on any of the calendar pages.
  • If you’re serious about forensic genealogy, The Global Forensic and Justice Center is offering Fundamentals of Forensic Genetic Genealogy – a week-long intensive in Denver, CO this summer, July 11-15.  Details are at  https://shop.nfstc.org/product/the-fundamentals-of-forensic-genetic-genealogy/
  • Applied Genealogy Institute has announced seven new classes for the fall semester. The registration window will be open from 8 August to 14 August. Courses fill up quickly, so be sure to mark your calendar. You can sign up for notifications from App-Gen at https://appliedgen.institute/mailing-list

Finally, I’m still working on the time zone issue. I’m feeling pretty good about including the many different time zones in each post as they are added, but haven’t gone back and changed previously added events yet — is it helpful?  I’ve got a whole list of improvements that I’m just about ready to tackle, since I am about to take on managing ConferenceKeeper.org full time.  I have gotten some really great ideas from users, and always truly appreciate your emails with suggestions and comments on what’s working and what isn’t.  Feel free to use the CONTACT form on the website or email me at info@conferencekeeper.org
