Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Azores Genealogy Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, April 15-18, 2014
Dear Cheri, Thank you so much for sharing in such detail. Since I have nothing except the islands of my families, my decision is clear. I only attended the first Azorean Conference, and look forward to reconnecting.

Hi Lynn, Yes, there are 3 Portuguese genealogy events going on in April. 1) Salt Lake City, Utah: This is a 4 day conference hosted by 3 speakers (me, Rosemarie, and Joao Ventura, archivist). We are doing lectures, computer lab, and personal help from us. We cover everything, from the beginning genealogist just getting started with their home records, trying to find clues as to the freguesia over there, to navigating, organization, and utilizing and reading the records over there. We also have a couple of bonus type classes: genealogy software, planning a research trip, and DNA. More detail on the classes can be found here: goo.gl/E9FHvV 2) UC Berkeley, in Berkeley, California, hosted by Luso-American: This is 1 day class, all lecture format. I believe Joao is going to cover how the records are organized over there, what information they contain and how to read them. He can explain more. 3) Mini-workshops, in Hayward, California: I need to find Joao's flyer, but I think he's still going over the records in the Azores, how they are organized, etc, just like above, but he will have hard copy examples (I think) where he will sit with you and help you learn to read (just like us in Salt Lake). His groups are limited to 10. He can explain more. For 2 3, you need to have your freguesia or at least pretend like you do. Joao is not going to cover how to use American records to find your freguesia in the Azores. Many local genealogy societies and Family History Centers offer classes on tracing your immigrant ancestor in your home country using those home resources. Does this clarify the three choices somewhat?

I would be interested in the UC Berkeley class. Maybe I missed the information?
