Genealogy Conferences

    The era of Covid has resulted in many changes for genealogists. At some libraries and archives, appointments need to be made, and also proof of vaccination required to enter some venues. Many genealogical societies and conferences went virtual to keep everyone safe but also allowed attendees the ability to attend meetings, etc.

    Later this year two onsite in person conferences will be held. The first in Sacramento, California and the second, locally, in Albany, New York. Coming up this Spring, on 24-28 May 2022 will be the National Genealogical Society 2022 Family History Conference, in Sacramento. There will be tracks available on topics such as DNA, immigration and migration, technology, Native American genealogy, African American, Chinese American research, and much more.

    Check the NGS 2022 Conference page for additional information. Hotel reservations are still available. For further information send an email to ngs2022@californiaancestors.org.

    In the Fall, the New York Genealogical & Biographical Society will host its 2022 New York State Family History Conference in Albany, New York from 08-10 September 2022. The conference will be held in the downtown Albany Hilton. There is also a second option called NYSFHC @ Home Pass where select presentations can be livestreamed direct to your home computer between 12 September and 17 October 2022.

    Please check the NYG&B website for pricing and further information.
