8th Annual Genealogical Institute of Mid-America

The Illinois State Genealogical Society's 8th Annual Genealogical Institute of Mid-America will be held July 8-11, 2002 in Springfield, Illinois on the University of Illinois-Springfield campus. Instructors and the course offerings are: Michael John Neill "Genealogical Research Methods and Sources, Part I;" Sandra Luebking "Genealogical Research Methods and Sources, Part II;" Lloyd Bockstuck "Germanic Colonists and Immigrants in North America;" and Paul Milner "Genealogy in England: Overview of Archives, Societies, Libraries and Research Process"

The Institute is a four-day program of formal instruction and intensive studies, with a choice of one of the four genealogical courses. These are offered to participants at all experience levels who are seeking to enhance their research skills, increase their awareness of sources, improve their understanding of methods and facilitate their access to records.

Registration includes one of the four offered courses, late afternoon general sessions, refreshments, three dinners, a banquet, a certificate of attendance, parking and an extensive course syllabus.

The Institute is held in the University of Illinois-Springfield's modern conference center where a full service food court and campus book store are located. Housing is available in campus dormitories.

A special separate computer workshop is offered on Friday, July 12, 2002. "Before You Hit Enter: Genealogy Techniques in a Digital World" will be presented by Michael John Neill. This workshop can be added to your registration or taken on it's own.
