NERGC 2017 – Day 2 is in the books

Leave a comment

Oh my!  Today was another eventful day at the New England Regional Genealogical Consortium Conference. We did some live streaming, we attended some lectures, and we did more browsing around the exhibit hall. I do wish I had the time to do a full recap but sadly it will have to wait.

I will leave you all tonight with one quote from the day.

I understand a record better, after we’ve been friends – F. Warren Bittner

In this case he was referring to really taking a record at more than face value. Sometimes, some things won’t make sense until you’ve made sense of other things.

Saturday we’ll do one last burst of filming and streaming and enjoy more lectures during the later half of the day.

The New England Regional Genealogy Conference begins tomorrow[1]It technically began on Wednesday with some special interest items but we were not able to attend. and I can’t wait! 


We arrived earlier this evening and took a walk to get the lay of the land. The conference will be held at the Mass Mutual Center in Springfield, MA this year (pictured above.) 

Tomorrow I have signed up for a workshop on Palaeography by Edwin W. Strickland II. That is the fancy word for ‘reading old handwriting’. Something I need a lot of help with (as well as those trying to read my handwriting, but that’s another story.) 


As official bloggers, we will also be attempting to broadcast live from the event with interviews, new products and more. Be sure to head over to our YouTube page and hit subscribe, to keep up on the latest.

If your at the conference and you see us, don’t be a stranger either. We would love to meet you!
