Dillman Family Association – bi-Annual Gathering, August 2024 Posted 1 June 2024 by Julie GoucherCourtesy of Dillman Family Association The Dillman Family Association is pleased to welcome guests and members to join us for an exciting Genealogical Conference in Louisville, Kentucky taking place Aug 8-10, 2024 at the Country Inn & Suites, Louisville East. This will be our 12th bi-Annual gathering since 2002. We understand that there are many different approaches to genealogical research and we have assembled a program that reflects this diversity. Many genealogists today like to take advantage of the free and subscription based digital records. We will have several speakers who will walk through demos and pitfalls in using these tools – FamilySearch.org, MyHeritage.com and Ancestry.com. For those interested in detailed searching through original records, we will have a guest speaker specializing in records that are local or unique to Kentucky. We will have many experienced genealogists on hand to share their experiences and tips they have learnt along the way. All of our presenters are ready and available to answer any questions that may assist attendees work beyond their current stumbling blocks. Most of all, the DFA strives to provide additional context that brings your ancestor’s story and experiences to life! Additionally, we wish to highlight that there are at least six great reasons for attending the 2024 conference: 1. The DFA Library will be there! 2. Attendees are invited to share what they know and do not know about their Dillman family line 3. A local genealogical expert will help us understand the ins and outs of Dillman family ancestry and migration paths through Kentucky. 4. Update on DNA testing. 5. The “Family Migration Project” started in 2019 has allowed us to digitally trace Dillman travel events between countries. 6. You may meet a cousin for the first time.
