Topic: Emerson Heritage Fair reminder Dear Researchers: One last reminder for the Family Heritage Fair, being held in Emerson, Nebraska August, 5, 2006. All families are invited to bring their family tree information, books, pedigree charts, descendancy sheets, family history write-up, you name it, if it is about your family we will find a place to display it somewhere. If you do have an item for display it will entitle you to the 50% discount on the admission price. The central focus of this event is the one small church district of Schleswig/Holstein called Giekau, but the overall fair will cover all parts of the world. Yes! Even Scotland, so my wife can put her family tree out also with her Hume clan. There will be a genealogy workshop held during this time also, maybe you can pickup some pointers on your research. As many of you know, part of Emerson is located in three counties, Dixon, Dakota and Thurston. Wayne County Genealogy Group has been invited to help with this workshop, making this a four county affair. If you have family from that area and can not make it to this event, feel free to send your pedigree and descendancy charts to me by e-mail and I will print them out and see that they get displayed. Please have your e-mail and snail mail addresses on what is sent in so if people do find a connection they can get in contact with you. You may also mail your information if you wish. For more information and the workshop schedule please check the web site. _www.giekau.com_ (http://www.giekau.com/) . You will find the schedule and registration sheet on the Misc. page and you do not have to be a member to go there. Thank you for your time, Gary Schoening 204 Harolds Drive Glenwood, Iowa 51534 _Huffner5@aol.com_ (mailto:Huffner5@aol.com)
