Pursuing Research Strategies and Skills

The first week of a new month is always a busy time at The National Institute for Genealogical Studies as another rotation of online courses opens for our students, who are pursuing effective research strategies and looking to refine their research skills. Month, we welcomed many new students who registered for a variety of courses using the discount codes offered during the RootsTech 2021 conference this past weekend. Thank you to those who stopped by the Expo Hall to visit The National Institute for Genealogical Studies’ Virtual Booth. Hopefully, you were able to claim one or more our special offers before the deadline of Friday, March 5th. RootsTech2021 was an overwhelming success for their very first, totally virtual conference with over 1,000,000 attendees from over 200 countries and territories! Thank you to ALL who contributed to their success. Don’t forget to continue to use the resources on the RootsTech website and build your playlist. So much valuable content was provided to add to your genealogy research toolbox and sharpen your research skills. So many presentations to develop new research strategies to tackle your favourite research project, or topple that brick wall. Definitely a wonderful experience for all who were able to attend, and for those who will be utilizing this resource until RootsTech 2022!
