AGS Fall Conference — Cyndi Ingle
The Arkansas Genealogical Society will hold its 2024 fall conference on Saturday, October 19th, starting at 9:00 am. Our speaker will be the internationally renowned Cyndi Ingle, creator of CyndisList.com. The conference will be a Zoom Webinar. You can attend from the comfort of your home or gather with others at one of the watch parties that will be held in many cities around Arkansas and other states.
If your club, library, or other organization would like to sponsor a Watch Party, see this page for details. It’s a great way to engage family history enthusiasts in your area.
Cyndi will give four presentations:
- Cyndi’s List in Practice
- Navigating Your Way Through FamilySearch
- Newspaper Tools Online: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
- Accessing Ancestry: The Roots, The Branches, and The Trees
Only $5.00 for this all day conference! We are counting on volume rather than high price. To break even, we need at least 400 attendees. Please help us reach our goal of 400. Register now! Tell your friends.
Support the conference by becoming a sponsor or by creating a memorial to honor the memory of a loved one.
Kitchen Round Table Talks
The Arkansas Genealogical Society is excited to announce the launch of a new Zoom forum called “Kitchen Round Table Talks.” Each month, we will select a genealogical topic or application to engage in a lively discussion among a group of participants online. To encourage participation, we limit the number of attendees, therefore, registration is required. In the event of a high demand for a specific topic, we can arrange an additional meeting to accommodate more participants.
We eagerly invite individuals to suggest topics of interest and encourage volunteers to lead discussions on subjects they are particularly passionate about. It is important to note that this initiative is a work in progress, and we anticipate making adjustments based on trial and error. Your participation and feedback are invaluable as we refine our approach.
