Hello Everyone! The first joint lecture series sponsored by the NJ State Archives and the Genealogical Society of New Jersey wrapped up on November 5 with a most interesting "Ask the Experts" evening. The lecture series was eight evening lectures on a variety of topics. Information on the speakers and topics can be found on the GSNJ's website: www.gsnj.org under the link "Exploring Your Jersey Roots." The lectures were wonderful and I wish everyone could have attended. I learned so much from these lectures and will be keeping my syllabus materials handy for future reference! We hope to co-sponsor other lecture series with the State Archives in the future so that we can continue to provide everyone with this type of information. We promised to make the syllabus available for purchase once the final page count and cost was determined. The syllabus contains all of the handouts from all of the lectures. We have tallied the pages and costs and now pass the information along to you for your consideration. The final syllabus for all eight lectures is just over 100 pages of information, samples, forms and examples. It presents a truly amazing amount of useful material!! It is being made available for purchase for $20.00, including postage and taxes. Order forms and additional information will be available on the GSNJ website (www.gsnj.org) in the near future. You needn't wait for the official order form, however. Order your very own copy now by sending a note and a $20.00 check, made payable to the GSNJ (or Genealogical Society of New Jersey), to the following address: GSNJ P.O. Box 1476, Trenton, NJ 08607 Unfortunately, we are not able to accept credit cards. Individual lecture handouts are not available separately at this time. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at mailto:jml-gsnj@earthlink.net Thank you all for your interest and we hope you will find the syllabus materials to be useful, fun, and informative! Please feel free to forward this message to any other lists or people you think would be interested. Sincerely Joan M. Lowry Joan M. Lowry mailto:jml-gsnj@earthlink.net
