The Texas State Genealogical Society’s institute, TIGR, promotes learning in an instructional classroom atmosphere, taking each attendee’s skills to another level. Course coordinators and instructors lead students for five days through a progression of topics on the same subject. This format provides a hands-on learning experience during the week along with great discussions with your instructors and classmates.

This year, TIGR offers four courses that create a unique learning experience for those researching ancestors in the Southwest. In addition, TIGR’s inclusion of a unique course on Texas research addresses a critical need for genealogists researching complex Texas and early Republic of Texas records. More info.
