As time flies by and the NGS Family History Conference gets closer and closer, what lectures are you looking foreward to attending?
This is my first time at NGS Family History Conference and I am very excited for all of the lectures I plan on attending. However, there are a few speakers that I am looking forward to.
Elizabeth Shown Mills – I know, she is a well-renowned speaker on genealogical things. I have become a stalker, er, fan of her work and I am excited to hear a few of her lectures.
Lisa Louise Cooke - I have been looking to learn how to use Evernote with my genealogy research and when I saw that Ms. Cooke will be conducting a lecture on it, I knew that I wanted to attend it!
Thomas W. Jones - Even before they announced his new upcoming book to be published soon, I had a few of his lectures highlighted. I had heard from other genealogist that he was an excelent speaker. I am looking forward to his methodology lectures.
These are just a few of the speakers that I am looking forward to attending their lectures next week. Who are you looking foward to hear speak next week at NGS Family History Conference? If your not going, who would you like to see if you were able to go? Let me know!

Is anyone else attending the NGS Annual Conference that is scheduled to be held on May 8 – 11, 2013 in Las Vegas, NV? Well I am and I am extremely excited about this trip!
This morning, I received some great, wonderfully, AWESOME news! I was selected as an official blogger for this year’s NGS Annual Conference. This is my first time as an official blogger for a conference. I was so excited to receive the news that I immediately text my husband and daughter! (Well I really wanted to jump up and down and scream but I think the higher-ups would have frowned upon that type of behavior in my office! 
) This means that I will be bringing to you, my readers, updates and any interesting news involving the conference as I get a hold of them. I will also be tweeting, blogging, and posting on my facebook, my google+ page, and on my LinkedIn account; all of the fun stuff and interesting tidbits that I will find out during the conference.
After the rough last two months including the death in our family, my husband really needed a vacation away from home. We discussed attending NGS’ Annual Conference and decided to add on a few extra days before the conference so that we can have some alone time together. I know that my husband really needs this time away and that he is really looking forward to his golf time while I am in my classes at the conference. 
So stay tuned and see what new things come next for the 2013 NGS Annual Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada!
See you in Vegas!
Hi everyone! I just wanted to post a quick news bits item. About.com has their Genealogy Readers’ Choice Awards 2013 available for you to vote on. I just finished my voting for today and am excited to see what the final results are!
Voting is open now until midnight (EST) on March 19, 2012 according to their website. We can vote once per day in each category and there are 11 categories. It’s not the easiest to navigate so let me give you this tip, when after you vote and you get to the results page, scroll or look down a few lines and you will see a link to “All Genealogy Awards”. Click on it and it will take you back to the main page with the list of all of the categories.
I voted in all categories but two and that was due to the fact that I didn’t use the services listed so I couldn’t consciously vote in those catagories. Did you vote??? What did you think of it? Let me know. I love reading comments!
Have a great day!!!
I just wanted to let my readers know that I have not forgotten about them. I have been busy working on the assignment for January from my ProGen15 study group. Here you can see that I am very old school in the writing of my assignment.

Last year my laptop broke and I have yet to replace it so in the mean time I have to use the old standby of pad of paper and pen. I am happy as long as I have my green ice tea with me. I do have a post or two planned for the next few days as well so I will get those posted as soon as I can.
Have a fantabulous day my friends!!!
As 2012 comes to an end, it is natural to think about the new upcoming year and what to do to make it better. I don’t want to call it my resolution, but instead, my action plan.
So here is my action plan for next year.
I don’t like resolutions because they are easy to break. This is why I use my action plan. I like the way it sounds, like its do-able. So, what are your plans for the new year? Any changes you want to make? Post a comment and let me know.
Lastly, I would like to wish everyone of my readers a safe, prosperous, and a very Happy New Year!!

Well with me just posting my Research Guide for Zacatecas, Mexico; how can I not post the map that shows the municipal divisions within Zacatecas, Mexico. This map along with my research guide would be helpful to any genealogist who is doing research in Zacatecas, Mexico.
As part of an assigment I had from ProGen15, I had to create a Genealogy Research Guide. In working on this assignment, I decided to create one for the State of Zacatecas, Mexico which is where my paternal grandparents are from. I recieved a lot of constructive feedback on this assignment and have incorporated as much as I possible could. So without further ado, here is my Genealogy Research Guide for Zacatecas, Mexico. Make sure you have Adobe Acrobat reader to view it.
So far, I’m loving the new SCGS Jamboree’s app. I love that I can have a schedule, have a syllabus from a particular class emailed me me, and that I have a list of exhibitors at the ready!
If your going to SCGS Jamboree this year, you need this app!!! You can read about it and download it here.
