Registration for the Texas Institute of Genealogical Research (TIGR) is open. Held virtually this year, TIGR 2025 takes place June 16-20, 2025.

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.
