If you’ve set a goal to improve your genealogy research skills in 2017, you will want to visit the ICAPGen (SM) “Skill Building Resources” page.  Here you will find links to college and university courses and degrees, conferences and institutes, and other helpful resources.

For access to many excellent (and free!) online presentations covering a wide spectrum of localities, methodologies, and subjects, check out YouTube and enter “genealogy research” in the search bar. That will bring up about 69,000 results, but filtering by channel or entering additional search terms in the search bar will narrow things down for you.

Another great resource for free online genealogy videos is the FamilySearch Learning Center, which has hundreds of excellent presentations organized by locality, subject, and skill level.

Conference Keeper is one way to keep up with all the conferences that are going on all over the United States and elsewhere.

This group covers conferences, events, calls-for-papers, contests, grants & scholarships, travel, tours & cruises. By following this site and their Facebook page, one can pick and choose the best for their research and/or genealogical needs.

As you work through the list of available conferences, there should be something for everyone regardless of what level of expertise you are at!

Don’t miss out on an opportunity to learn something new from a new conference, a new instructor in a great location or be pleasantly surprised at an upcoming conference you were not aware was happening in a location close to where you live!

Learning new skills, sharing and getting together with other genealogical/family history colleagues is always a fun and great experience.

Be sure to like their Facebook page also at https://www.facebook.com/ConferenceKeeper/, you’ll always be aware of golden educational opportunities!
