CGS is the local host society for the National Genealogical Society 2022 Conference, held May 24-28 in Sacramento. Our local host committee chair is Jane Knowles Lindsey, well known to many of you as a past president and longtime volunteer for the Society. She shares this special message:

“In just over a month, genealogists from around the country will converge on Sacramento for the NGS 2022 Family History Conference. Imagine genealogists meeting one on one and in groups talking about genealogy 24/7 for almost a week, and no one ever gets that “glazed over” look. To me, that’s heaven.

“As chair of the Local Host Committee, I see all the conference plans taking shape. I am especially excited about our Tuesday tours on May 24 and the two special evening events planned by the California Genealogical Society—A Taste of California on May 25 and the Back to the Fifties on May 26. It will be a thrill to see genealogists sharing their research, going to fantastic lectures, visiting experts in the Expo Hall, and having fun at our social events.

“For me, the best part of any conference is the networking opportunities. We want everyone to feel welcome, whether you are a veteran conference attendee or it is your first time! We hope everyone will enjoy sharing a cup of coffee or dinner or luncheon with their fellow family historians.”

You can still register for the conference and associated special events, through May 18. Several events are now sold out: among them the Capitol walking tour and the Gold Country bus tour; but there are still spots available for the Wednesday wine reception, the Thursday “Back to the Fifties” party, and the Friday banquet, among others!
