Gene-O-Rama

Gene-O-Rama: Our annual genealogy seminar is held in the Spring and is very popular.  Speakers share their knowledge and experience on a wide variety of genealogical subjects.  This event also features a marketplace and computer room.  This is a great opportunity for new and seasoned genealogists and family historians to learn.

Gene-O-Rama 2011 was held 1-2 April at Library & Archives Canada and by all accounts was an enjoyable experience. Thanks to all of you who attended and a big thank you to all the volunteers and vendors who made it a success.

There will NOT be a Gene-O-Rama in 2012 as Ottawa Branch will be co-hosting the annual OGS Conference 2012 in Kingston on 1-3 June 2012. Stay tuned for more details.

Ottawa Branch will also be hosting the 2012 Region VIII Genealogy Day. It’s on a smaller scale with three lectures, the Regional Annual General Meeting and a small Marketplace on a Saturday in March or April 2012. We’ll start planning it later this year and details will be available on the website. This years event will be held in Kingston on 16 April and details can be found at http://www.ogs.on.ca/kingston/Region8FlyerandRegForm.pdf
