HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH 

The latest UpFront with NGS blog post shares helpful genealogical resources in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month which is September 15 to October 15. The blog article provides direct links to research guides, databases, and church records covering Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Spain, and the American Southwest. https://upfront.ngsgenealogy.org/2026/09/hispanic-heritage-month-2026-resources.html

And for more resources, Legacy Tree Genealogists recently shared a quick beginner’s guide for anyone starting to search for family from Latin America. It explains how to use Catholic Church records and civil registration records (birth, marriage, and death) and concisely explains how two-surname naming traditions work, how to handle name spelling changes, and how DNA tests can help unlock your family history. It’s brief, basic, but definitely a great place to start. https://www.legacytree.com/blog/latin-american-history-month-latin-american-genealogy-research

THEY DIDN’T TRAVEL ALONE 

If you’ve been researching ancestors who crossed oceans or continents in search of a better life, you know they didn’t journey alone. Projectkin is launching a new initiative that invites family history storytellers to collaborate by focusing on shared migration paths. The program connects researchers writing about ancestors who traveled similar routes at about the same time, then brings their stories together on shared web pages. It’s a great opportunity to meet potential collaborators and introduce your work to new audiences. Everyone is welcome, and it’s free. Learn more at projectkin.org/migration-stories.

MAKING CITATIONS FUN

Did you ever think learning to build a citation could actually be fun? Jan Joyce, DBA, CG®, CGL®, AG®, has created a wonderful online ‘game’ based on Elizabeth Shown Mills’ Evidence Explained! Citation Coach teaches you all about building citations and uses simple game play to practice. And it’s completely free! You can read more about it on the BCG blog at https://www.bcgcertification.org/citations-coach or just jump right in at https://evidenceexplained.com/CitationsCoach

ONLINE COURSE SCHOLARSHIP

The Texas Genealogical College is accepting applications until October 1, 2026 for the 2026 Lynn Forney Young Scholarship. The award covers tuition for the National Genealogical Society’s 18-module online course, Advanced Skills in Genealogy. Interested applicants can submit their materials directly through the Texas Genealogical College application portal. You’ll find this and more opportunities on our Awards, Grants & Scholarships page: https://conferencekeeper.org/grants-scholarships/

FACEBOOK GROUP

If you use Facebook and like learning about new genealogy events (but hate scrolling endlessly), head over to the ConferenceKeeper Facebook group, where all can read, add, and share upcoming genealogy events (to post, you will need to answer a few questions the first time you submit). Adding a “like” or comment to posts is an easy way to support societies and event organizers as it boost visibility to an even wider audience across Facebook (I try to make a habit of it!). https://www.facebook.com/groups/ConferenceKeeper
