Sunday, October 16th 2005 is the day set for the annual NYC Family History Fair. It will take place at the Graduate Center, City University of New York, 365 Fifth Avenue (at 34th Street), Manhattan. This event will be the highlight of the 17th annual New York Archives Week, sponsored by the Archivists Round Table of Metropolitan New York. The Fair is co-sponsored by the Archivists Round Table and Continuing Education & Public Programs, The Graduate Center, CUNY. This year's fair will also feature the 4th Annual Ancestors Road Show, sponsored by the NYC Metro Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists. It is an event designed to pair up experienced or professional genealogical counselors with fair attendees for short one-on-one advice sessions that discuss research options for the attendee on one particular ancestor. Last year's fair attracted over 800 attendees, 45 organizations and vendors, and featured 16 workshops in addition to the Ancestors Road Show. The Fair runs from 12 noon to 5pm. Mark your calendars. This is a really fun day and it's FREE! To see more about the Fair and Archivists' Week, visit www.nycarchivists.org .
