2013 Federation of Genealogical Societies to Hold National Conference in Fort Wayne<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(August 19, 2013) – The 2013 Federation of Genealogical Societies Conference will be held at the Grand Wayne Convention Center and Allen Country Public Library in Fort Wayne from August 21-24.<\/p>\n

An estimated 1,500 genealogical experts and researchers from across the country will have the unique opportunity to research from over a million files and microform sources at the Genealogy Center at the Allen Country Public Library, which owns the second largest database of genealogical files in the United States.<\/p>\n

The group will also participate in several social gatherings and planned events, including a Welcome Party, Opening Social and Society Showcase Live. More information on these events can be found at www.fgsconference.com<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The 2013 FGS conference will provide a nice bump to Fort Wayne’s local economy, bringing in a projected $1.3 million dollars in direct spending.<\/p>\n

The conference returns to Fort Wayne for a second time and first time since 2007. It had recently been held in such cities as Philadelphia, Boston, Salt Lake City and Austin.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
