It is a large conference and lots of genealogy learning involved. There are pre-conference archives tours and Toronto’s Irish Heritage Bus tour. Dutch and Italian ancestry will be featured along with a session that would definitely interest me: Quebec Church Records. I’m still working out our KERR story in Quebec.
And more. Lots more.
If you live anywhere close, consider going to Toronto in May for this conference. Registration is on OGS conference website.
