Hello Everyone, In June 2007, Quebec Family History Society will be holding a genealogy conference at McGill University in Montreal. All talks will be in English. There is going to be a guided tour of the Montreal Archives. Some of the speakers will speak about accessing land records via the internet, legal records, & there will be talk about Eastern Townships land records. Often people overlook the legal records, & the land records - not realizing how much data these contain for genealogists. One lady searched for years - trying to find her ancestor's marriage.The place & date of the marriage was found in the land records. People who didn't own land are often included in the land records, as well. - The legal records are wonderful for putting "meat on the bones" of our ancestors. There will be a session dedicated to "Ask the Experts" whereby we can ask the panel of experts specific questions that have proven difficult to answer. Please check out the website www.qfhs.ca & look for details of Roots 2007 Confernce for a list of the speakers & other needed info. (Accommodations, food, directions etc) Sign up now, as the price goes up in May. Will look forward to meeting many of you there!! Pennie
