Family History Expos – A Great Educational Opportunity
Have you heard about the Family History Expos that are held across the United States? Sort Your Story blogger, Jennifer Holik will be presenting three lectures at the Illinois Family History Expo this weekend. Her kids’ and adult genealogy curriculum books will be on sale through Family Roots Publishing at the Expo. If you purchase one of her books, find her and ask her to sign it! She also has Sort Your Story puzzle piece magnets to give away either on a freebie table, if there is one at the Expo, or she will be carrying them with her and put them out at her lectures.
If you are looking for a new genealogical educational opportunity, there are still several this year. Visit their website to learn more!
