Ring in 2014 with a full-week of outstanding genealogy education. Places are still open in a few courses at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy (SLIG) but they won’t last long. And if you register before the owl hoots at midnight October 31, 2013, you can’ get in on the Early-Bird Registration price.
For the first time, Social Historian Gena Philibert-Ortega will coordinate a course at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy (SLIG) that brings together the many facets of using social history for family history. The class instructors bring their own special expertise to the program with sessions on folk music (Jean Wilcox Hibbens), library archives (Luana Darby), female ancestors (Beverly Rice) and Library of Congress, DC research (Pamela Boyer Sayre).
Gena specializes is using ephemera, community cookbooks, diaries, journals, and other personal artifacts to tell the story of our ancestor’s lives. More than names, dates, and places, social history helps researchers enrich their family history with details of everyday life. With the added bonus of the Family History Library, attendees are sure to come away with new ideas and stories for their own family history projects.
