2026 Virtual Spring Conference

Every family story begins with a spark of curiosity—and this spring, the American‑Canadian Genealogical Society invites you to fan that spark into something extraordinary. Whether you’re tracing deep Acadian roots, navigating complex DNA puzzles, or simply hoping to understand your ancestors with greater clarity, this year’s conference brings together three remarkable speakers whose expertise, generosity, and passion for teaching will guide you every step of the way.

Join us for a day of learning that blends history, culture, science, and community. You’ll explore the intertwined worlds of Acadians and Mi’kmaq with Judy Nimer Muhn, gain confidence working through challenging genetic genealogy cases with Kate Penney Howard, and discover the power of collaborative research through Cindy Bourque Cooper’s work with the WikiTree Acadians Project.

This is more than a conference—it’s an opportunity to deepen your skills, connect with fellow researchers, and uncover new pathways into your family’s past. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or have been researching for years, you’ll leave energized, informed, and inspired.

We can’t wait to see you there.
