CALIFORNIA GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY GENEALOGY CRUISE ROUND TRIP BOSTON TO QUEBEC OCTOBER 1-11, 2003 Join us for a great 10-day genealogy Cruise round trip from Boston to Quebec leaving October 1. According to All Cruise Travel, our cruise representative, when you book this cruise through them, you are getting a quote of almost $500 less than if you booked through Royal Caribbean lines directly! This cruise is very popular because of the magnificent foliage at this time of year. You don't even need to be a genealogist to get this rate so bring friends and significant others! In addition to the very competitive price there will be EIGHT genealogical lectures by two well known genealogists. ( See their bios and lectures topics below) I will be the tour coordinator. Originally from New England and a past Trustee of the New England Historic Genealogical Society(NEHGS), I now live in CA and am a volunteer at CGS. For genealogy questions you may contact me at [email protected] or go to CGS website www.calgensoc.org. For more specific cruise information, visit www.allcruise.com then click on "hosted tours" or call All Cruise Travel at 800 227-8473. If you have never been to New England and Eastern Canada in the fall you are in for a great treat! I have known the two speakers for many years. Both are well versed in many areas of genealogical research, not just New England and Canada. Many of the lectures will appeal to ALL researchers not just people with eastern roots. As of today, we have 47 people cruising with us. Hope to see you on board! ABOUT THE SPEAKERS George Freeman Sanborn Jr. FASG FSA has been on the staff of NEHGS for 20 years.
