National Genealogical Society
2016 Family History Conference | 4–7 May | Fort Lauderdale Florida
Exploring the Centuries: Footprints in Time

Long before there was Plymouth Rock, the Boston Tea Party, and the Declaration of Independence, the story of America began on the beaches of Florida. From the Spanish discovery of Florida in 1513, the exploration by the French and Spanish and the colonization of Florida’s interior, to its later involvement in military conflicts, science, technology, and entertainment, follow the first footprints of the American saga in the sands of Florida.

The NGS 2016 Family History Conference will find genealogists from around the country gathering in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 4–7 May 2016 for a four-day conference with more than 150 lectures on a wide range of topics.

Topics like federal records, the law and genealogy, methodology, analysis and problem solving, military and land records, DNA, BCG Skillbuilding, and the use of technology. Among the local topics planned are Florida and Caribbean research.

Registration for the conference and all related events opens on 1 December 2015. Tours, workshops, luncheons, and other special events sell out fast. Register early!
