GRIP - Pittsburgh - Some openings - 10 days to go

I haven't been posting about the Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh, but I'm very excited about going.  I leave 10 days from today and fly into Pittsburgh.  I'll have one night in a hotel before moving into the dorm on Sunday.  I'm nervous because I've never been to an institute before, and excited about meeting other researchers and the great organizers and instructors.  And, of course, I'm looking forward to all of the new information I'll have to help me with my research in the future.  

While I don't know if I'll have time to post during the Institute, I'll keep notes so that if any of you are interested in attending next year, I may be able to answer questions.  Because a few students had to cancel at the last minute, as of this minute, the GRIPitt site says that there are two seats available in Intermediate Genealogy, one seat in German Research and four in Problem Solving with Online Repositories.  Look at the web page for more information: http://www.gripitt.org/

Hope to see you in Pittsburgh.

GRIPitt - Registration Success

I just registered for the Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburg (GRIPitt).  With the advice of Michelle, I was registered in my first choice class and received an email confirmation with a time of 10:01 (just one minute after registration opened).  Thank you Michelle.

I'm so excited.  I've never been to an Institute.  No, it's not close (I live in Arizona).  No, I don't have any ancestors in Pennsylvania.  BUT I'm going to be learning so much that will improve my research skills.  Fortunately, I have five months to prepare.
