Founded in 1836, Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States and has a wealth of cultural and heritage treasures. The city has a population of various ethnic and religious backgrounds and a large and growing international community. It is home to many cultural institutions and exhibits—attracting more than 7 million visitors a year to the Houston Museum District. Houston has an active visual and performing arts scene in the Theater District and is one of the few U.S. cities that offers year-round resident companies in all major performing arts.* Houston’s rich history provides exciting opportunities for conference attendees to participate in tours, workshops, and sessions focusing on Hispanic genealogy and history.

Sponsored by the Hispanic Genealogical Society of Houston, this year’s conference features topics covering the themes of Monterrey Archives and Protocolos, Tejano Leadership, Guerra Family History and Genealogy, Beyond the Alamo: Forging Mexican Ethnicity in San Antonio, plus other genealogy workshops. In addition there will also be a bus tour to the San Jacinto Monument and Museum Freedom Trail and a tour of the Clayton Library Center for Genealogical Research where you conduct individual research.

You won’t want to miss the chance to hear from our special guests at the Opening Session or Banquet Luncheon, or to network with old and new friends at the Welcome Wine & Cheese Reception at the Hilton Hotel. Be part of this state annual event and come to Houston.

We hope to see you there!
