HELLO AGAIN GET YOUR ERASERS OUT!!! BOY DID I GOOF (Thank you Pat Peck for noticing it!!) Ancestor Connection Day will be 15 Jul 2000 and not 19 August 2000 This is a correction to the information at the bottom of this message: Hello Saratoga Descendants, If you are not a member of Heritage Hunters, you probably do not know about Ancestor Connection Day which is an annual get-together where we bring together representatives from DAR, SAR, Mayflower, National Archives Branch of Pittsfield, MA, the Family History Center of Loudonville's Church of the Latter Day Saints (Mormon), historians, other genealogy groups, genealogy book sellers, and so much more. Everyone brings their files, pictures and etc. and puts them on a table so others going by can check them out to see if you are a match. It is a good idea to come with your surnames in alphabetical order so you can run down the list at each table. We also have people with displays and re-enactors from the Sons of the Veterans of the Civil War. You will be able to speak to representatives to see what you have and what you need to join organizations. We have speakers every hour in the next room on different topics. Heritage Hunters has all of their books from their libary there to do research or check out the records submitted by people who are in our Surname Exchange Index. Our Genealogical Projects Committee has a nice display on the use of a computer in genealogy and their display of material. You will be able to ask questions of these people and see a display of many things to do with your computers and our Saratoga GenWebPage. We also try to have a food concession just outside the door so we don't have to waste any time checking everything out. This is held at the 4H Training Center in Ballston Spa, NY from 8am to 4pm and it takes a few hours to get around to all of the tables and displays. We have had people arrange to meet there so you could plan with your genealogy "cousin" that you have been in contact with. So plan your vacations to include being in Saratoga on CORRECT DATE>Saturday, 15 Jul< CORRECT DATE WRONG DATE>Saturday, 19 August <WRONG DATE for Ancestor Connection Day. During the week following, you might want to go to NYS Library and Archives and visit the Saratoga County Historian, the courthouse and your towns your ancestors were in. Please note that July and August are terrible times to find motels and accomodations in the Saratoga Springs area because of the NYC Ballet and horse racing in Saratoga. I have a list of some clean but less expensive motels in towns outside of Saratoga Springs and there is a great campground for RV's in Scotia. Better plan ahead for this event and come meet the people on this list and a lot of the Heritage Hunters members and friends.
