Genealogy Seminars in the Southeastern United States, Spring 2020

I can't be in two places at once, so I have to figure out which of these seminars I'm going to make it to in the spring! There are so many useful topics, I'm going to have a hard time narrowing it down.

Some of these are short monthly meetings, others are full-day seminars, and a few are multi-day conferences.

IGHR is the Institute of Genealogy & Historical Research, a conference held in Athens, Georgia, each year. It is pricey but the opportunity to learn how to do my job better is priceless! Registration is open now!

Hamilton County Tennessee Genealogy Resources, Chattanooga

It doesn't look like I have any ancestors from Hamilton County, Tennessee. However, since I live close to this fairly old and important community, I want to learn more about it so I can help other people with their research. Hamilton County Library Genealogy Resources I called to see if they had resources onsite, and was told that they don't currently have a genealogy department apart from an extensive collection on the website. https://chattlibrary.org/resources-genealogy/ Hamilton County Tennessee Genealogical Society A very professional looking website which states, "HCTGS is an Internet based society ... to share their knowledge of Hamilton County with others on the Internet and provide a forum for fellow researchers interested in the genealogy and history of Hamilton County Tennessee." http://www.hctgs.org/ East Tennessee Historical Society Offers programs and exhibitions uniquely tailored to the region.
