UMGI 2026 will focus on resources and strategies for 19 th - and early 20 th -century family history research—with an emphasis on families moving to or through the Midwest. This year’s program blends lectures with student exercises that give students an opportunity to apply what they’ve just learned. UMGI 2026 instructors include J. H. Fonkert, CG, Jessica Fontana, and Elizabeth Williams Gomoll, CG. Registration opens 6 April. Watch the MGS newsletter for more information. |
