To all: Years ago, when I started my FARQUHAR research, I had a number of letters from him -- these were greatly appreciated and still on file. This is a bit more "advertising" of a special conference. Muriel M.

Canada. Having had a peek at the topics and lecturers, I am impressed. Among the keynote speakers is Dick Eastman, director of Gentech and manager of the Genealogy Forum of Compuserve. Wendy Anderson, an authority on British records will be flying in from Cambridge, England. Rick Roberts, who many will recognize as the editor of the Canada Global Gazette on-line newsletter will be talking about computer software. Peter Murphy, recipient of Canada's Governor General's award for his thesis on Irish Immigrant children and Nova Scotia historian Allen Robertson will be speaking. Besides the lectures there are expert panels, computer labs, family history displays. The Provincial Archives will also participate, bringing some of their records to the Conference. The four day event is a unique opportunity to meet others sharing an interest in Maritime roots, learn a little bit and enjoy some down east hospitality.
