SLIG Goes Virtual

We just completed the beta testing for our new Virtual Advanced Evidence Analysis Practicum course.  Coordinated by Angela Packer McGhie, CG, and modeled after her Practicum course that runs at SLIG each year, this new virtual course will allow participants to attend and do the research from the comfort of their own home.
Five cases have been selected from those presented in past SLIG Advanced Practicum courses. Students will have a full week to work the research in around their regular schedules.  Registration opens June 25^th for SLIG 2016 participants and July 9^th to the general public.  Details:  http://ugagenealogy.org/cpage.php?pt=422

Just One Month to SLIG Registration

Learn from the field’s top educators. Obtain in-depth instruction.  Network with respected experts.  Just three of the five top reasons to attend the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy, to be held 22-27 January 2017 at the Hilton SLC Center hotel.  Not to mention the fourteen amazing courses from which to choose.
Registration opens July 9^th at 9:00 am MDT, and as most of you know, several courses fill quickly.  How quickly?  Let’s just say you definitely want to be logged onto the website and ready to go well in advance. If you haven’t yet renewed your UGA membership, please do so now, so you have the information you need in plenty of time (membership is not required to register; just for the UGA member discount).

Lodging reservations will also be taken directly through UGA/SLIG this year and submitted to the hotel as a group rooming list.  Reservations will open July 9^th as well at slig.ugagenealogy.org.

Please take a minute to peruse the courses.  As the month moves forward, full course outlines and additional instructor information will be added to the site.  In the meantime, follow us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/SaltLakeInstituteofGenealogy/)(@SLIGinstitute).  And if you have attended SLIG previously, you can request to join the closed SLIG2017 Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/SLIG2016/).
Hope to see you there!
