I have the great fortune to be selected as an ambassador for the Federation of Genealogical Societies national conference. I am super excited because this will be the first national convention I have attended since I began researching 20 years ago. As one of the many social media ambassadors, I will be live tweeting various presentations and updating my blog with all of the events activities. I hope that my followers will be as thrilled as I am to Connect, Explore, and Refresh!

Here’s an excerpt from http://www.fgsconference.org:

In 2015, the FGS and RootsTech are teaming up for a one-time genealogy event to be held at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, February 11–14, 2015. FGS and RootsTech will share the expo hall, general sessions, activities, and more while each conference offers their own program of sessions. FGS sessions will focus on methodology, records, ethnic research, and migration for honing your research skills and society issues to motivate and inspire society volunteers. RootsTech will offer a program of technology-based solutions for the genealogy needs of both individuals and societies.
