SLIG (Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy) 2017 was a blast!
My first time participating in this unique learning experience was all I hoped it would be.
Here are some of the highlights:
Reuniting with old and making new friends.

The Snow!
It may have been cold and snowy most of the week (this southern girl doesn't do cold), but in the end, it was all worth it as certificates were passed out and we all said our goodbyes.
