Utah Seminar Examines Genetic Genealogy
The Utah Medical Association and Heritage Genealogical College are planning a genetics and professional genealogy seminar in Salt Lake City. Salt Lake has gained international prominence for genetic research at the University of Utah and the Huntsman Cancer Center, as well as for genealogy research at the Family History Library. For more information on this seminar go to "Utah seminars will examine uses of genetic genealogy," located in The Advocate Newspaper, written by Damon Veach.
Because the Federation of Professional Genealogical Societies (FGS) is holding their annual genealogy conference in Salt Lake Sept 7-10, this genetics seminar will be held the day before the conference starts on the 6th. The cost is $90, and $50 for students. This price includes a lunch and 2 snack periods. If you're planning on going to the FGS Conference already, this sounds like a great addition to that information.
And if you registered with the Fun Stuff for Genealogists company for a free pass to this conference, they have announced their winner. Her name is Helen Bortz from Haysville, Kansas. So those of you who didn't win, like me, you need to register by tomorrow in order to get the early bird discount.
