The Portuguese Genealogy Conference and Research Trip will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah from June 25-28, 2019. The deadline to register and book your hotel room is May 24th, only 2 months away. Rosemarie and I still have room for conference attendees. The Plaza Hotel was getting low on rooms (assigned to our block), although the hotel had plenty (as of a month ago). So if you are seriously thinking of going, you may want to book sooner rather than later.

The conference is $90 USD for 4 days of classes, computer lab time, and one-on-one assistance. Most conferences you only get classes and few might have some computer lab. Rosemarie and I want you to really put what you are learning to work! So that is why we have the evenings open to help you.

The registration packet link is below. It's still version 1. There is a version 2 that I'm waiting to be posted (Kathy Cardoza, the webmaster, has a life too, so she'll get to it when she gets to it). The only difference is that Rosemarie and I had a discussion and we decided instead of lumping up the DNA on mainly one day that we would spread it out over the course of the conference. The hours are mostly the same:
(Monday - Dessert Social/Welcome/Meet & Greet in the evening for those flying it that day)
Tuesday 9 - 5
Wednesday 8 - 5 (sorry for the early start!)
Thursday 9:30 - 5 (Group photo at 9 a.m.)
Friday 9 - 3:30 or so
After dinner (and after 3:30 on Friday) will be the one-on-ones and research assistance.
Saturday, Rosemarie and I are both available. I think Rosemarie will be leaving about lunch time I think I leave a couple hours later.

Here's the link to the registration packet.

Looking forward to seeing you in Salt Lake City!

Southwest is having a sale and it looks like they are featuring Salt Lake City. So if Southwest serves your home airport (and you don't mind what is in the news about their Boeing planes), then you might want to take a look. www.southwest.com

Hi Bob L,

Maybe next time. When I negotiated with the hotel last fall, they didn't have the availability for our group until June. So that's the dates I had to pick. We try to have them about every 18 months or so, depending on the availability of the host hotel. This was to have been our spring one. So the next would be the late summer/early fall around late Aug/early Sept of 2020, depending on what is available at the Salt Lake Plaza Hotel. The announcement for the dates will be around Feb/March of next year. Cheri
