Henny, just where in Akron? My mother I know would love to talk to you about several things and see your books.

Please stop by to chat, to pick up applications or even to buy books. We are always willing to try to help answer your genealogical questions. For those of you unfamiliar with the Conference, there are scores of classes offered on many topics from beginning to ethnic to computer use. There are also dozens of vendors with a wonderful selection of books, archival materials, maps and so on. We look forward to just saying hello!!!! Henny Evans
