Nordic Genealogy Conference

Join us
for an exciting two-day conference focusing on research and resources for the Nordic Nations and genealogy skill-building.

Inver Hills Community
College in Inver Grove Heights provides a
beautiful setting.  Parking is free, and IHCC is easily accessible from Highway 52.

Events start with a dessert reception on Friday evening and a media presentation by Doug Ohman.  In addition, meet the honorary consuls from several Nordic countries.  Please feel free to wear traditional dress.

Saturday is a full-day conference with presentations by Duane Swanson and Ryan Mattke along with eighteen breakout sessions focusing on Swedish, Sami, Norwegian,
Icelandic, Finnish, Danish, and general genealogy topics.

Saturday ’s event also includes a limited number of short consultations and translations by the sponsoring groups.  Additional information and how to sign-up for these sessions is available online at www.mngs.org.

We'll also have an exhibit hall staffed by various societies, libraries and archives, and providers of products and services. During lunch, we'll share details of family naming traditions for each country and maybe a joke or two. And don’t forget the silent auction and door prizes!
