For the seventh consecutive year, ArkivDigital, was an exhibitor. Janet Carlson, Kathy Meade and Lorna Nelson led a Power Hour titled, “The Power of Swedish Research Using ArkivDigital”. The Power Hour was a new feature this year consisting of three presenters giving 15-minute presentations followed by a 15-minute question and answer session.  It was a fun hour sharing new features within ArkivDigital.  In addition, Kathy Meade, demonstrated ArkivDigital  in the demo theater as well as giving a lecture on “Swedish-American Church Books – A Great Genealogical Resource!”.

Each day, there were a stream of visitors stopping by our booth requesting to learn more about our services and Swedish genealogy. Many sought help in discovering where in Sweden their ancestor came from, translation help on records as well as questions on how to search within ArkivDigital.
