This will be the 150th anniversary of Queen Victoria naming Ottawa as the capital of Canada and we hope that everyone will join us to help celebrate. Details and registration forms are available on our website at http://ogsseminar.org/. The OGS Seminar brings together the thirty Branches of OGS plus the members of Genealogical and Historical Societies across North America. Normal attendance is between 500 and 700. In the course of three days, we provide a variety of speakers and workshops where genealogists and historians have the opportunity to discover new ways of researching and networking. Each attendee will receive a syllabus and a registration package containing necessary information as well as advertisements and small useful items. We have booked thirty speakers, including a number of well-known names as well as several Ottawa locals. Among the talks, Margaret Hall will be speaking about the Loyalists of Eastern Ontario. Everyone will have the opportunity to attend seven lectures plus the Keynote talk and Plenary session. Workshops and a tour on Friday are available at an extra cost. As well as the lectures, Seminar will include many vendors of genealogical and historical reference materials, CDs, maps, etc. There will be ample opportunity for everyone to visit the large Marketplace area. The meals will be provided by Algonquin's professional catering staff! Accommodation at the college is very similar to that at Seminar 2006: spacious suites with two private bedrooms, a kitchenette and a three-piece bath. The Seminar is open to both OGS members and non-members, at the same prices. We hope to see you there!
