audrey: the lancaster county historical society (lancaster, pa) is holding what they call their "family history conference" on march 25-27. it is advertised to consist of lectures, workshops, exhibits, etc... dealing with research techniques. ive never been to it, so i cant tell you how worthwhile it is (perhaps someone else on the list can). i did register for this year's program. the price was about thirty or forty dollars; i dont remember exactly. kurt. > I'm new to this list and fairly new to genealogy. Does anyone know > of any short courses or informative lectures on genealogy in the area? > I'd appreciate hearing from someone. Thanks..........Audrey
