Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy Registration Opens Saturday

Registration for the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy (SLIG) opens this Saturday, June 4, 2011 at 9:00am Mountain Time (8am Pacific, 10am Central and 11am Eastern). There is a great lineup of courses for the institute which will be held January 23 - 27, 2012 at the Salt Lake City Radisson Hotel. Some classes may fill quickly so register as soon as possible. The full brochure is now available on the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy website, and this is the same link to begin the registration process.

I have attended the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy in 2009 and 2011 and thoroughly enjoyed it. This last January I was in the Advanced Genealogical Methods course with Tom Jones and it was excellent! I am excited to be coordinating a new practicum course for SLIG for 2012 on Advanced Evidence Analysis. See my previous post with all the details.

The FGS Radio "My Society" Show will feature the Utah Genealogical Society and the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy this Saturday at 1:00pm Central (Noon Mountain, 11:00am Pacific and 2:00pm Eastern). See http://www.blogtalkradio.com/mysociety for details and to tune in.
