Last Names of Nuevo Leon

Here is everything that you need to know about the upcoming 39th Annual Texas Hispanic Genealogical and Historical Conference that will be held this year in San Antonio, Texas.

This year’s conference will be hosted by the Los Bexareños Genealogical and Historical Society. It will be on September 27-29, 2018 at the Holiday Inn on the River Walk located at 217 North St. Mary's Street in San Antonio, Texas 78205.

If you have never attended one of these conferences make sure to attend this one. I have attended for the past four years. The ones in McAllen, Laredo, Corpus Christ, and Austin.

They blew my mind, I had a ton of fun on all these conferences. I also got to make new friends and meet many people.

Well here is all you need to know about the conference so that you can start planning early.

I got my room a few months ago since I love staying at the hotel that the conference takes place. Don't forget to use the group code LBG to get a discounted rate.

  1. Moses: Need additional information regarding the banquet and the Saturday night dinner – Other than it being dinner – what else is going on?

    1. The Sobremesa is like what people do in Spain it is an after dinner gathering to talk and discuss things. The focus of the Sobremesa will be simple, coffee and pan dulce. The discussion will be centered on people sharing their genealogy with other and DNA to find Primos.

  2. Moises: What if we can make it to Saturday’s events, do we need to pay the $69 fee or is it a reduced fee for one day only?
