Hi!
Tammy and I got together in July and were talking about genealogy, one of our most favorite topics of course!
We are true believers that getting together with like-minded individuals and networking is absolutely the best way to learn the most about genealogy.
We talked about the possibility of a genealogy day. Next thing you know, we had it all planned in two hours.
Then the work began!
About us:

A member and active volunteer of the Alberta Genealogical Society, she has co-chaired two previous successful 2-day conferences.

As you may notice, we are two active individuals!
