Round Table Topics and moderators

Let's Talk DNA Surprises, led by Glenn York
A relaxed conversation about unexpected DNA results, newly discovered relatives, and gently revised family stories. Participants share reactions, ethical questions, and practical research approaches, focusing on understanding evidence, communicating findings clearly, and integrating new information into ongoing genealogy work.

Got a Brick Wall?, led by Bobski Masson
Brick walls don't always need new records – sometimes they need new ways of thinking. This session explores overlooked tools, including AI, fresh questions, and creative strategies that help you see old problems differently and uncover clues you may have missed hiding in plain sight.

LGS Surprises & Wishes, led by Margaret Lindblom
This interactive roundtable invites you to reflect on your experience with LGS programs and share your most surprising/wonderful discoveries. What unexpected insights have you gained? Just as importantly, what do you still hope to learn? Come prepared to share your ideas and help guide future LGS offerings – help make the LGS future what you want it to be!

How Organized Are You?, led by Gail Lewis
How many of you have developed a good organizational system for your pictures, documents, and your computer? Bring an idea that has worked for you or maybe you'll find a way to improve what you're doing now. You may find that with specific ideas, they won't take much effort and, you'll realize that you need to spend some time getting organized! Wouldn't that be nice?
