Sharon just flagged a goldmine of online material relating to the The Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) and New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) Conference held August 30 - September 2, 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts. I've been following this up and have summarised my findings on the Clare Past forum at http://tinyurl.com/2ts9cc (I've put it there because this list shreds URLs and the Forum posts them intact; I challenge it to mangle this tinyurl, ha ha).
