Come and find out how to get started or to tackle the issues that have your genealogical research stalled, all in an informal atmosphere. Representatives from neighboring genealogical societies will be their manning booths and sharing their publications and knowledge. Door prizes including a year free membership in addition to refreshments. *****SPECIAL MEMBERSHIP PROMOTION ALL 2011****** If two friends join at the same time in 2011, both will get their memberships at $15.00 each, a savings of $5.00 each What a deal!
