Last day of @SLIGinstitute and let me just say, I’ve found my people. We are all excited to spend an hour learning more about North Dakota. We might be the only people excited about North Dakota. #SLIGExperience #SLIG2024 #SLIGFun #SLIGElevated #genealogy #familyhistory

I’m multitasking this afternoon. I’m listening to Paula Stuart-Warren while I begin dinner prep. #SLIGExperience #SLIG2024 #SLIGFun #SLIGElevated #genealogy #familyhistory

In a span of just 24 years, the US pension office witnessed an astounding transformation! 📈 Initially managing 8,000 claims, it surged to an incredible 325,000 – a 4000% increase, fueled by the veterans of the Civil War. 🎖️ ⬇️

Just because I’m attending a @SLIGinstitute course this week doesn’t mean I can’t meet my daily standing goal. #SLIGExperience #SLIG2024 #SLIGFun #SLIGElevated #genealogy #familyhistory
