The Moore County Genealogical Society is looking forward to our Genealogy in the Pines conference this Saturday, January 18, 2025. We are excited to be co-sponsored this year by the North Carolina Genealogical Society. It’s President, David McCorkle, is one of our expert speakers and will use the topic “Exhausted All the Deeds? Use Other Land Records to Uncover Even More Valuable Information”. Diane Richard, professional genealogist and wearer of many hats, will have two sessions, one about breaking through brick walls (which we all need to hear); and, of course, one of our all-time favorite speakers, Morgan Jackson, who administers the Wallaces of Moore County website, Facebook, and DNA. Morgan is authoring a new book and will be speaking about civil war soldiers and sailors of the Confederacy.
Due to limited space, pre-registration was required this year with check-in at 8:30 a.m. with light breakfast followed by browsing our exhibitor tables. We are pleased to have several local exhibitors: Scottish Heritage, Moore County Historical Association, Daughters of the American Revolution, Sons of the American Revolution, United Daughters of the Confederacy, scrapbooker and author Beth Saunders, and author Nancy Yow Holt. Desi Campbell with the Harnett County African American Heritage Center is also exhibiting, along with the North Carolina Genealogical Society and GenWebinars.
The MCGS looks forward to seeing you at our conference, and we would invite you to help us continue to promote genealogy by becoming a member of our society.
