Hello, The registration deadline for the MGC program April 6 has been extended to Tuesday April 2 . Walkins and registrations on April 6 are welcome, but will not include lunch.

The Massachusetts Genealogical Council Annual Meeting and Seminar Saturday April 6, 2002 features the following topics: "1930 US Census", "Unusual Boston Resources", "Lineage Society applications", and "Photo Identification and Preservation" topics at the Corey Auditorium, Carlisle Public School, Church Street, Carlisle, MA. Additional information and program registration can be found at http://massgencouncil.org/ Please email info@genealogyfair.com or call 781-209-8861 if you have any questions! Since the NARA, Waltham MA release for the 1930 census starts at MIDNIGHT April 1, I'm sure many there will be a lively crowd of already experienced 1930 census researchers in the audience for Walter Hickey's talk about how to use other resources in lieu of the "wished for" comprehensive 1930 index. Learn about finding the right source documents for lineage society applications - and all genealogy research with Barbara Jean Mathews. Publications by speakers Ann Lainhart (Unusual Boston Resources) and Maureen Taylor (Photo Identification and Preservation) will be available, as well as representatives and information about lineage societies, such as the Daughters of American Revolution (DAR). See message attachment for other societies and vendors participating. Find out what you can do to help protect access and preserve records in Massachusetts at the Annual Meeting. download the membership brochure at http://massgencouncil.org/ Join us for this wonderful spring event!
