Coming Soon
Fox Valley Genealogical Society's 2025 Virtual Conference, WONDERFUL WORLD OF WEBSITES: Navigating NARA, LOC, and Historical Newspaper Websites, with your members and genealogy friends. Leading genealogists Alec Ferretti, Shannon Combs-Bennett, and Laura Kovarik will guide registrants through the best strategies for researching the National Archives (NARA), Library of Congress (LOC), and historical newspaper websites. To cap off the day, registrants will have the opportunity to put their new skills into practice during hands-on breakout sessions, allowing them to apply what they’ve learned in a collaborative setting.
The conference takes place online (via Zoom) on Saturday, 27 September 2025, from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm (Central). Unlock genealogical gold in NARA, LOC, and historical newspaper websites.
