It’s time to think about summer. It can’t come fast enough for me. Summer means the Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh. It’s a week of courses to help advance your family history knowledge, methodology, and circle of genealogy colleagues.

I am coordinating the intermediate course again. It is offered during the second week of GRIP, July 19-24, 2015, in Pittsburgh at LaRoche College.

The course is “Intermediate Genealogy: Tools for Digging Deeper.” I teach most of the sessions but am joined by Debbie Mieszala, CG, and D. Joshua Taylor, MA, MLS for several of the classes. We have developed a series of classes that have received rave reviews from former students. They have enjoyed it so much that they come back to GRIP and take other courses after the foundation of learning provided by the intermediate course.

The dorm rooms (I stay there, too) are in the building next to the classrooms and cafeteria building. The cafeteria and area outside it offer many tables for eating, talking, studying, and for just relaxing.

To learn more about this course and about what the week will look like, visit Gripitt.org.  That’s also where you will learn more about the other courses offered that same week. This institute is not all about Pittsburgh or Pennsylvania research, but about research and techniques that apply to many localities. Though, this week does offer a Pennsylvania research track.

Now for the VITAL part. Registration opens soon, Wednesday, February 18th at noon eastern time. Be sure to read the instructions to gain ease of access to registration that day. http://www.gripitt.org/?page_id=73
