First Timer

It's 8 o'clock on Saturday morning and I'm on my way to my first genealogy conference! Actually it's more like a mini-conference. Billed as "The Genealogy Event", it started with a half day yesterday afternoon and concludes with a full day today. I couldn't get off work to go yesterday, but there was no way I was missing today.

According to the event website there will be 2 speakers every half hour, exhibitors, and experts available for consultation. All this for only $20. I can't wait to get there. I'm hoping to get into the sessions on African American Heritage, DNA Testing, Researching Federal Records, and using technology.

My own research has been on a bit of a hiatus these past few months and I think spending the day with other genealogists will get me back on track.

More later.
