Louise St Denis and Sue de Groot  have just returned from a fabulous conference hosted by the Toronto Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. Gena Philibert-Ortega just returned from the Southern California Genealogy Jamboree. We learned a lot over the weekend and I’m sure if you attended either conference you did too! But the learning doesn’t stop after the conference is over.

Many of you have started to study some of the courses that began this past Monday, while others are continuing to complete courses. Do you have any questions about your courses or research? Or do you have questions about courses you are interested in taking and not sure what to expect? Join us for a virtual meeting applicable to your course/research to get answers.
