Good morning folks, I am looking forward to seeing so many of you in a few days at the Montana State Genealogical Society Conference which will be held in Great Falls, Montana, May 5-7, 2000 and will include as Keynote speaker, Curt Witcher. Curt is the Department Manager for the Historical Genealogy Department of the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, IN and has a long list of credits to his name. He will also be leading workshops on the topics of "Historical Research Methodology", "Passenger & Immigration Research" and Researching Revolutionary War Ancestors".
