October 2 & 3, 2020. Let’s all pretend we are in Des Moines, Iowa attending the fall conference of the Iowa Genealogical Society. However, it’s 2020 and we will really have to pretend, but thankfully we can get together live via Zoom. I am the keynote presenter doing three presentations each day. Therese Liewer and Sheri Snodgrass will present one lecture each. The conference theme is:

Discover New Resources – Expand Your Hunt

All the presentations will be live and you will get to chat with the presenters in between sessions and add questions and comments in the chat area. It’s quite possible there will be some laughter, too. It will all run smoothly on Zoom as IGS has contracted to have Cyndi Ingle of Cyndi’s List as the Virtual Meeting Host. She has done this for other societies and the reviews were excellent. There will be lots of assistance for those not familiar with the technology!

My six presentations are:

The Farmer in the Dell  . . . and in Many U.S. Records
Railroad Records and Railroad History: Methods for Tracking
Finding Maiden Names: Let Me Count the Ways
Research Nugget in the Midwest: The Allen County Public Library
The U.S. National Archives: The Nation’s Attic
Midwestern and Plains States State Level Census Records
