Deadline is this Sunday, January 15, for submitting speaker proposals for the next IAJGS conference in Orlando, Florida, July 23-28, 2017. See https://s4.goeshow.com/iajgs/annual/2017/abstract_submission.cfm
[We are particularly interested in presentations that enable our participants to enhance their genealogical research by teaching them to:
(1) Discover their family history using new research tools and resources;
(2) Preserve their family histories and traditions; and
(3) Share their family history with future generations of their family and with fellow genealogists.
As this will be the first IAJGS conference held in the southern United States, we have embraced the "The Jews of Florida, the South, and the Caribbean" as a theme of the conference. Given the location, we also expect that there will be interest the genealogy of Iberian conversos.
We also anticipate attendance by genealogists and family historians of widely varying levels of experience and training. The common denominator among all, however, is a thirst for the kinds of tools and strategies that will enable them to "take their research to the next level".]
