The Texas General Land Office and Texas State Genealogical Society are partnering together to bring Texas genealogists the very first Genealogypalooza on Saturday, May 17 at the GLO Headquarters in the Stephen F. Austin Building in Austin. The goal of the Genealogypalooza is to bring attention to a broad range of Texas genealogical resources in an open, fun, and practical way that will be accessible to those in attendance, and further cement the Texas General Land Office and Texas State Genealogical Society as partners in Texas genealogy.
The 2014 Genealogypalooza will feature seven informative speakers, and tours of the General Land Office Archives and Records for only $65 before May 1 ($80 after May 1).
