Upcoming conference here in Omaha Nebraska will be October 24th. We will be talking about wills & probate records, Civil War pensions, have a panel discussion to discuss some of the attendee's research problems (you have to send in your problem with your registration and tell what you've done and what you know about your problem for the panel to have half a chance at figuring out further ways to help you), and have an Antiques Roadshow type of event as well (so you can bring a family heirloom to find out more about it.) Place: Again at the Nebraska Methodist College, Josie Harper campus. Registration is in progress. If you did not get a flyer in the mail, you can download one at _www.gogsmembers.wordpress.com_ (http://www.gogsmembers.wordpress.com) (look on the sidebar for the button to click). You'll want to get your registration in soon so that you can qualify for the pre-registration price (otherwise, the price goes up $10 at the door, whether you're a Society member or not...and we offer the pre-registration special so that we know how many hand outs to prepare.) The first class starts at 9:00, so you'll want to come early (doors open at 8:15). There will be a bake sale, and lunch will be served at a nominal fee. If you missed our first ever Genealogy Lock-In, you missed a good time. We introduced over 60 folks to the resources that are at the W. Dale Clark Library, (had snacks, which are not commonly acceptable on 3rd floor), and people had access to 14 computers there on 3rd, whereas the genealogy room has two that usually can be used without reservations to do genealogy research without reservations. There were people there from GO-PAF who helped answer genealogy program & computer questions. It was generally decided that we need to do another one, so we will, but not for a few months. Sorry if you missed it...so don't miss the Workshop too!
