NERGC 2019

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend the Saturday sessions for NERGC, the New England Regional Genealogical Conference, which is held bi-annually. This year it was held in Manchester, NH, and in 2021 it is scheduled to be held in Springfield, MA. I was thrilled to attend talks held by Thomas W. Jones and Blaine Bettinger. I especially enjoyed the DNA chromosome mapping talk by Blaine Bettinger, as I delve more into the study of DNA.

The luncheon, sponsored by NEHGS, featured the Great Migration Study Project and it was an honor to hear Robert Charles Anderson discuss his 30 years of work on it and his hopes for the future of it. This included the introduction of a new interactive map feature available through American Ancestors which eventually plans to track early settlers from their places of origin in England to New England.
