It has come to my attention that the National Genealogical Society website for the upcoming conference in Pittsburgh May 28-31 does not show which luncheons are being sponsored by which society or organization. If you are a member of NGS you would have received a preliminary registration announcement with your last newsmagazine showing this information, but not the menus served each day. Since many of us sign up for lunches sponsored by the groups to which we belong (not saying you have to be a member as it is a nice way to meet with others of the same interests), I have listed the luncheons below along with the menus. (You may notice an ethnic theme in the food. Pittsburgh has many cultures which still retain an identity in the area.)
