It just so happened that two of the Jamboree back to back sessions that I attended were hosted by Elissa Scalise Powell and Paula Stuart-Warren. I’ve been photography each of the speakers and both happened to be on the podium at the same time. Each reminded me that GRIP – the Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh was coming up soon.

The first session runs from 26 June-1 July 2016 and the second is from 17-22 July 2016. Paula is presenting the week-long course “Intermediate Genealogy: Tools for Digging Deeper” during Session 2.

I haven’t ever made it to Pittsburgh, but this is on my genealogical bucket list.

Here are the courses for 26 June-1 July:

Pennsylvania: Research in the Keystone State with Sharon MacInnes and Michael Lacopo

Master the Art of Genealogical Documentation with Thomas W. Jones

Fundamentals of Forensic Genealogy with Cathi Desmarais, Kelvin Meyers and Michael Ramage

Family Archiving: Heirlooms in the Digital Age with Denise May Levenick

Women and Children First: Research Methods with Judy G. Russell

German Research Resources with Warren Bittner and Baerbel Johnson

Session 2 has the following line up:

Diving Deeper into New England: Advanced Strategies for Success with D. Joshua Taylor

Intermediate Genealogy: Tools for Digging Deeper with Paula Stuart-Warren

From Confusion to Conclusion: How to Write Proof Arguments with Harold Henderson and Kimberly Powell

Advanced Genetic Genealogy with CeCe Moore

Researching in Italian Records with Melanie G. Holtz

I believe there might be a few seats left in some of these sessions. For complete information, visit GRIP.
