Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh (GRIP) offers week-long courses at a suburban Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, college campus with top instructors in our field. Begun in 2012 with four courses, GRIP has expanded to six concurrent courses and two separate weeks. Last year 205 students from forty states and three countries attended seven classes in one week.

To honor one of our first instructors who died two weeks after teaching his German research course, GRIP is sponsoring the John T. Humphrey, CG, Memorial Lecture at NGS. Fittingly, session T203, presented by Warren Bittner, CG, will be “Introduction to German Church Books.” Please attend and enjoy this gift from GRIP.

GRIP is a popular educational experience that encourages students to return each year. The collegial feel of learning among friends enhances delving deeper into your chosen topic, whether it is writing family stories, problem solving with church records, land records as an advanced tool, research in New York or Pennsylvania, law school for genealogists, determining kinship with the Genealogical Proof Standard, your genealogy career, intermediate and advanced methods, or practical applications for DNA evidence.

This year’s institute weeks of June 28 to July 3 and July 19-24 each offer different courses except for Practical Genetic Genealogy which is scheduled for both weeks. To see which is offered when, and who is teaching, please visit http://www.gripitt.org/?page_id=9.

Please stop by Booth #701 to visit GRIP co-directors Debbie Lichtner Deal and Elissa Scalise Powell, CG, CGL, and learn more about the 2015 courses.
