OTHER UPCOMING DEADLINES

This time of year always seems to be slow, genealogy-event-wise. But don’t worry – once the new year arrives, most folks jump back full swing into creating and posting new events! I’m taking advantage of this slight respite and paid a surprise visit to my dad in Arizona this week, for an early Christmas 🙂 That being said, please forgive any errors or omissions as I’m not at home at “command central.” I hope you’re able to connect with your family this holiday season, whether in-person, virtual, or even just with the ancestors you’re researching. As always, feel free to send questions, corrections, comments, or concerns to me through either the CONTACT form on the website or email at info@conferencekeeper.org. I always appreciate submissions, updates, corrections and suggestions!
