Last night we got back from the Quad Cities where we spent four days fully immersed in genealogy & family history at the Federation of Genealogy Societies annual conference. It was wonderful!! My husband and I are suffering from information overload at the present time. Check with your local genealogy society. If they are members of the Federation (Greater Omaha Genealogical Society is one--some of the others in Nebraska are as well), you can purchase a syllabus (while supplies last) for $15 plus postage (depends on how many are purchased--$4 for the first one, 75 cents after that--so send in together & share shipping costs.) There's a wealth of information in the syllabus even without hearing the speakers. Some of us would like to bring the conference to Omaha in a few years--despite the tremendous amount of work that it is. It is also a tremendous amount of fun! Karen
