Folks, I thought this might interest at least those of you who live near the St. Louis area. Bob Emnett ****************** Migration: Trails Across America is the theme for the 35th Annual St. Louis Genealogical Society Fair, featuring author, columnist, lecturer, and teacher, Lloyd Bockstruck. It will be held 30 April 2005 at the Maryland Heights Centre, 2344 McKelvey Road from 7:30 A.M. until 4:00 P.M. This is an interesting day for everyone interested in genealogy and family history. There will be something of interest for everyone whether you are a novice or an advanced genealogist. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to meet others who share your interest and to hear lectures from many genealogy specialists. Lloyd Bockstruck's topics will include Northern Migrations, Southern Migrations, 19th Century German Migration Patterns, and Military Events that Shaped the Nation. The additional topics cover lectures on Germans, Irish, French, African Americans, military, church records, graphics, computer tips, and beginning genealogy. An exhibitor area will be open all day so that you may browse and purchase those needed books and materials to enhance your genealogical activities. Bring your photos for reproduction. Originals will be returned the same day. Early registration price break before 5 April.
