Tis the season for 2015 institutes to have you save the first date which registration opens. Looking for gift ideas? Then perhaps an institute will be a unique gift to request or give. Attending these "summer camps for genealogists" is more fun with a friend or relative! IGHR at Samford University, Birmingham, AL, will open Tuesday, January 20 on a staggered time schedule (see below). Tom Jones teaches the writing course and I teach the Genealogy Profession course held June 7-12. Tom's Writing course is offered every year but if you are thinking about becoming a professional, or want to learn how to be a more efficient professional, my course is taught only every other year. GRIP at LaRoche College, Pittsburgh, PA, will have registration open Wednesday, Feb. 4 at noon eastern for courses held June 28-July 3 and Wednesday, Feb. 18 at noon for courses July 19-24. (See www.GRIPitt.org <http://www.GRIPitt.org> for the listing of courses including those by Tom Jones, DNA courses, Genealogists and the Law with Judy Russell, NY, PA, Writing the Family History, Land Research, Church Records, etc.) Many of these course sell out within 5 minutes of registration opening. Be prepared to go on a waitlist if that occurs. So why are these courses so popular? Because it is just fun to spend 5 days in a classroom delving deeply into your course topic with other great students and nationally-recognized faculty! The in-person experience is educational and fun.
