Nebraska Genealogy Events - August and beyond



Nebraska not only has Hot temperatures, we also are Hot with genealogy events for the rest of the summer and fall. Listed below are upcoming events for August 2012.

As cooler weather approaches, make plans to attend the Midwest Family History Expo in Kearney, Nebraska on September 7-8, 2012. If that's not enough, two fantastic speakers will be appearing in Nebraska in October. Hank Z. Jones will be the featured speaker at the fall conference of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Genealogical Society on October 12, 2012 in Lincoln. John Philip Colletta will speak at the Greater Omaha Genealogical Society fall conference in Omaha on October 27, 2012. I plan to attend all three events, so it will be a busy autumn for me!

  1. Hank Jones was the guest of the MoSGA (Missouri State Genealogy Association) conference in August 2011. I am still processing what I learned from him (and on top of that he is wonderful fun!) I hope you enjoy his visit to Lincoln.
