BYU 2006 Computerized Genealogy Conference
I just found the following announcement from BYU.
March 10–11, 2006, are the dates of this year’s Computerized Genealogy Conference. This conference is designed to be a how-to guide for everyone, including beginning, intermediate, and advanced researchers. Join us to learn how advancements in computer programs have revolutionized genealogical and family history work.
The featured presenter for this conference will be Cyndi Howells, owner and webmaster of Cyndi’s List of Genealogy Sites on the Internet ( http://www.cyndislist.com), a categorized index to more than 240,000 online genealogy sites and other resources. Cyndi’s List has been voted the best genealogy site on the Web and receives more than 3.2 million visits each month. She is also the author of three best-selling genealogical research books on the Internet.
At the Computerized Genealogy Conference last year, more than 600 participants learned about new programs that can simplify and enhance genealogical research. Topics included running genealogy software, working with databases, e-mailing to do genealogy, and finding useful tools on the Internet. Some of our participants summed up their experience at the conference by saying, “I learned everything I hoped to learn,” and “I’m full of new ideas, enthusiasm, and new skills, ready to get to work when I get home!” Vendors were available throughout the conference to showcase their products. Mark your calendars now for our March 10–11, 2006, Computerized Genealogy Conference, which promises to introduce to you the newest ideas in genealogical research.
The 2006 Computerized Genealogy Conference site will be online early in 2006, so please check back. In the meantime, check out the 2005 Computerized Genealogy site in PDF format .
