You’ve heard from me each day of the Northwest Genealogy Conference in Arlington, but what about comments from some of the nearly 400 other attendees? Here are a few:
My favorite class was the Facebook class (Solving Genealogical Mysteries with Facebook’s 10,000+ Links by Katherine Willson). It really opened the world to me — and all the free stuff out there.
Everyone is so friendly and this conference is so well organized.
During the Facebook class, I got on my computer and found my Dad’s stepsister — right during class! She’s part of a family group page, so I’m reaching out to her. What a great class!
Diahan’s presentation on her mother’s adoption story nearly brought me to tears.
Best thing about this conference? Meeting up with my high school friend after 52 years!!!
Daniel Earl’s humor was the best! Laughing while learning!
This conference is so well-run. So many topics and speakers!
I like meeting all the people and talking about our mutual interests.
My favorite classes were the DNA ones.
My favorite class was “Apprentices, Indentured Servants and Redemptioners: White Slavery” with Peggy Lauritzen (personal note: just about every class was someone’s favorite)
I was wearing my “ITALY” button at the Meet and Mingle at the beautiful Gleneagle Golf & Country Club while enjoying the FREE TACO BAR (for conf patrons) when I connected to another Italian researcher – small world it is – her hubby and I were cousins confirmed on Gedmatch! Same small town in Sicily – my GGrandfathers Mother – THE BEST SOURCE OF INFO IS EACH OTHER…Next year we should all wear buttons!
