April 28-30th I spent in Salt Lake City UT at the National Genealogical Society Annual Conference. From the opening session with its virtual tour of the granite mountain vaults where decades of record collecting is stored to the two hour session on certification, I learned a lot. And if I had not gotten a cold before I left Idaho, I'm sure I would have enjoyed so many more minutes of workshops and seminars.
Even the days of snow showers didn't dampen the excitement. And I was able to get in a few hours of research in the Family History Library. Since it was my first time at the SLC Library, I didn't get a lot of data, but I know what to plan for if I get a chance to return. I do wish I had felt well enough to enjoy the concert by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and special guest speaker, David McCullough, author of "John Adams." By the time we were supposed to go to the convention center, I had just spent myself and could not make it.
Now I am back home and already swamped with research in new applicants for the Daughters of the American Revolution. For privacy reasons, I cannot share the research I do for these persons, but I will continue to blog on what I do on my lines. And I will share bits of information I picked up at the conference.
So happy researching and I'll be back soon.
