Time to get those calendars out to mark some dates for great education in 2025. This is for those interested in genealogy/familyhistory/history/community history/DNA/AI. I think that covers most of the course contents. It’s time to add the National Genealogical Society’s GRIP Genealogy Institute to those calendars. • 22-27 June 2025, Virtual Courses• 13-18 July 2025, […]

June 2, 2007. The day I began my own blog. Before that, I had been blogging about publicity for some Federation of Genealogical Societies conferences. Today starts the 18th year of my own blogging.
