The Texas Institute of Genealogical Research Expands to Seven Courses in 2023
Join us virtually June 12-16, 2023
Are you ready to take your genealogy research to the next level? Do you want to learn from some of the top genealogy lecturers from the comfort of your home? Would you like to spend time with like-minded individuals in an interactive environment while sharing experiences and tackling some of the questions you face in your own research? If so, the Texas Institute of Genealogical Research (TIGR) is just what you need in 2023.
Genealogical institutes are designed to provide in-depth and extensive instruction on a particular topic or timeframe. The Texas Institute of Genealogical Research is just that – an educational event that focuses on topics important to genealogists who want to advance their research skills.
Held every other year, TIGR is a unique five-day learning experience offered to address a critical need for genealogists encountering complex challenges. TIGR promotes learning in an instructional classroom atmosphere, taking each attendee’s skills to another level. Course coordinators and instructors lead students through a progression of topics on the same subject. Throughout the week, TIGR combines in-depth lessons and great discussions with instructors and classmates to enhance attendees’ learning experience.
What can you expect at TIGR?
Your week of learning will be shared with students that have the same interest in genealogical research as you. All instructors are well-known genealogical researchers and lecturers. Along with their expertise, case studies, discussions, and problem solving exercises will enhance your TIGR adventure. While bringing a variety of viewpoints and backgrounds to the institute, TIGR students all share a passion for genealogical research and discovering how to conquer “brick wall” challenges. Whether you discover the key to unlock your brick wall challenge or rekindle your passion for research, TIGR is an experience you won’t want to miss.
