The second day of workshops went well on this second full day of the AAHGS conference. Workshops and speakers covered topics from Genealogical books, methods for local community history, African-Native American genealogy and more were shared.
A highlight for most genealogy conferences comes from those who get a chance to see old friends, make new friends and also meet face to face, persons they have only known online, and this conference was no different. That happened today, as members of the online AfriGeneas community met at the exhibit table and finally put a face to the names that they see often online!
All in all the day went well, and the conference ends tonight with a banquet followed by the much anticipated conference social afterwards.
This is one of the events bringing winding down the genealogical calendar for the year. This year has been full and brought new ideas and stimulating discussions for all who have been able to participate.
We can only look forward to another year.
