It will be held in historic Boston, >Massachusetts. The local host is the oldest genealogical society in >the United States, the New England Historic Genealogical Society. > >Well-known speakers from all across the U.S. will be joined by >experts from Canada, England, Ireland, and Scotland. This conference >has more choices than have ever been offered at a U.S. genealogy >conference. The Exhibit Hall will have some very special vendors in >addition to the usual ones. > >During the conference, there will be a reception honoring the 30th >Anniversary of the Federation of Genealogical Societies. > >The conference committee was able to arrange a lodging cost that is >well-below most Boston area hotel rates -- $159.00 per night for 1 >or 2 people. If you have ever stayed at a hotel in New York, Boston, >or Washington, DC, you know what a great rate this is. I have >checked a lot of other recent and upcoming other types of >conferences being held in Boston, and they were not able to arrange >such a good rate. Even better, you can walk from the hotel to the >convention center without ever going outside. The two places are >part of a large complex that includes a shopping mall. > >Full details are at the FGS Website <http://www.FGS.org>www.FGS.org. >The conference program offerings as they stand today are also at the >Website. There will still be additions to the program as >sponsorships are firmed up. Most of these lectures are new and >different.
