Identity Quest Genealogy Conference & Heritage Celebration was held November 12-13, 2022 and provided the midwest with a host of heritage society exhibitors, genealogy speakers, and heritage music, dance and art!
Saturday was a free conference with national and regional speakers who shared information on the latest genealogy tools and resources.
