Registration is Open!

The Texas State Genealogical Society (TxSGS) is excited to announce that registration will open Thursday, March 2, 9:00 a.m. central time for our upcoming week-long Texas Institute for Genealogical Research (TIGR)!

Held virtually, TIGR 2023 takes place June 12-16, 2023.

What is TIGR?
TIGR promotes learning in an instructional classroom atmosphere, taking each attendee’s skills to another level. A course coordinator and instructors lead students for five days in the same virtual classroom on a progression of topics on the same subject. This format provides a hands-on learning experience during the week along with great discussions with your instructors and classmates. Learn more about TIGR here!
