We will be gathering in historic Fort Wayne, Indiana at the Courtyard by Marriott (Downtown at Grand Wayne Convention Center, Thursday, October 9th - 11th, with optional earlier arrival activities beginning Wednesday the eighth. Registration information and forms will be coming soon by email, will be posted on the AFAOA website and page, and included in our next newsletter. This conference is an event many of us look forward to every year. This will be a great chance to exchange information and visit with others, take advantage of the Allen County Public Library genealogy center, and enjoy Fort Wayne in the surrounding area. We invite you to join us and find out what makes this such a special group. Hope to see you in Fort Wayne!

The 2024 AFAOA was held October 17-19 in Portland, Maine. Early arrivals enjoyed a walking tour of historic Portland, sampled amazing seafood, toured the Victoria Mansion (designed by an Austin cousin, Henry Austin), and visited the Portland Head Light, Maine’s oldest lighthouse. Talks covered a variety of subjects, including “Genealogy and AI: How Safe and Accurate Is It”, “ Framing the Stories of Our Ancestors”, “ Researching in 4-D: Building Contexts for Your Ancestors”, and “The Portland Bridget Project: The Lives of Irish Domestic Servants”, to name a few. Reuniting with old friends and new, enjoying time with cousins, it was a fun time in Maine!
