Texas Institute of Genealogical Research

Genealogy is a skilled endeavor. When you know better, you do better. Success hinges on knowing what resources to use and how to leverage them to find your ancestors.

For this reason, I've long placed an emphasis on my professional development - improving my skills and knowhow by attending conferences, workshops, and webinars. 

As an advocate for learning, I'm excited to be deputized a TIGR Ranger for the Texas State Genealogical Society's Texas Institute of Genealogical Research (TIGR). 

This year, TIGR is offering four courses virtually June 13-18, 2021. 

The week-long courses are laser focused on a single topic (think intensive college seminar) designed to provide an immersive learning experience that equips you with skills to enhance your family history.

TIGR Courses

Featuring a slate of dynamic instructors who are leaders in their respective fields, each course provides a deep dive into the following topics:

• From Spanish Rule to Republic: Research in the Lone Star State, coordinated by Kelvin L. Meyers and Colleen Roblendo Greene.
