Ready for New York’s largest—and only—statewide family history event? The New York State Family History Conference (NYSFHC) is September 10–12, 2020.

The NYG&B has been actively working to transition our plans for NYSFHC 2020 to ensure a safe, healthy, and productive experience for everyone.

While we are still planning for an in-person event in Albany (with some modifications), September 10–12, 2020, we understand that circumstances might change in the future. We continue to monitor official local, state, and federal guidelines as we evaluate these activities moving forward.

Your health and safety are our top priorities, and we certainly understand some might not feel comfortable traveling or attending the event in person.

Therefore, we are proud to announce the addition of NYSFHC@Home—a digital conference experience in conjunction with our activities in Albany.

Thanks to the dedication of our speakers and sponsors, this brand-new experience will deliver the NYSFHC experience remotely, from the comfort of your home.
