Those who attended the concluding banquet of the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy last Friday received the flyer announcing the twelve courses that will be available 13-17 January 2014, a short walk from the Family History Library.
Five of the twelve were offered in 2013:
Paula Stuart Warren, "American Research and Records"
John Phillip Colletta, "Writing a Quality Family Narrative"
Thomas W. Jones, "Advanced Genealogical Methods"
Angela McGhie and Kimberly Powell, "Advanced Evidence Analysis Practicum" [hardest course ever ;-]
Judith Hansen, "Problem Solving"
Seven are new additions for 2014:
J. Mark Lowe, "Research in the South"
Karen Mauer Green, "New York Research"
Carolyn Barkley, "Scottish Research"
Richard G. Sayre and Pamela Boyer Sayre, "Advanced Research Tools: Land Records"
Maureen Taylor, "Comprehensive Photo Detecting"
Kory Meyerink, "Researching in Eastern Europe"
Apryl Cox and Elissa Scalise Powell, "Credentialing: Accreditation,Certification, or Both?"
Early-bird registration ends 31 October 2013. I'm not saying which one(s) I want to take. But if you can't find a topic essential to your genealogy on this list, you might be reading the wrong blog!

Genealogizing outside the lines...
The wonderful Genblogfinder tempts me to stretch my definition of the Midwest:
On our far right-hand side, Pittsburgh will be hosting the August 1-3 meeting of the FEEFHS, the Federation of East European Family History Societies. The conference blog lists speakers and topics including "Austria-Hungary" (in two parts, naturally), "Recruiting Rules of the Austrian Army," "Russian Empire Research," and "Polish Archives: Behind the Scenes in Gdansk & Poznan." Conference blogs don't tend to be cutting-edge, but it does give me a warm fuzzy feeling that people are working these resources.
On our left-hand side, the Davenport (Iowa) Public Library's Richardson-Sloane Special Collections Center, AKA "Quad City Memory," is blogging at "Primary Selections from Special Collections." Recent posts include generous excerpts from Capt. Chester Barney's unique and wry recollections of the Civil War, and a cliffhanger about Davenport barber, foot doctor, and ex-slave General Houston.
