Welcome to Pennsylvania!

The Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania and the Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society are pleased to invite you to the first statewide Pennsylvania Genealogy Conference on the 29th and 30th of September 2006. The Pennsylvania Genealogy Conference, to be held at the Sheraton Station Square in downtown Pittsburgh, offers family historians the opportunity to expand their knowledge of genealogical resources and research methods through an array of sessions given by some of the country's most outstanding genealogical speakers. A variety of topics will be covered in the twenty-eight sessions scheduled over the two days of this conference.

Millions of American genealogists can trace their ancestors back to the Keystone State. For them, the Pennsylvania Genealogy Conference presents the opportunity to explore a rich variety of records covering 300 years of Pennsylvania history in a special Pennsylvania research track.

While in Pittsburgh, you can also join your fellow genealogists on a three-hour dinner cruise around Pittsburgh's scenic rivers, or take advantage of our many local research repositories. The Pennsylvania Genealogy Conference also provides the perfect opportunity to discuss genealogy and Pennsylvania ancestors with hundreds of other genealogists with research experience in the state. There are also plenty of opportunities for those with heritage outside of the Keystone State, including several lectures on researching European ancestors and advanced genealogy research techniques.

Pennsylvania is the Keystone to your Heritage and we hope you can start and/or continue your search for your heritage at this premiere genealogy conference. We will be looking for YOU in Pittsburgh this fall - and so will your ancestors!
