All the comments pro and con about Ancestry have me looking forward to this coming Saturday! I signed on for an all day conference jointly hosted by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and Ancestry. It is being held at the Convention Center Grand Ballroom in Philadelphia, PA this Saturday. When I paid my $45.00 I thought I would go and learn a few new tricks. Now it seems I am going to learn ALL new tricks! I am actually looking forward to the day, especially since lunch break will take me to the Reading Terminal Market for BASSETS ICE CREAM. the best ice cream and the oldest ice cream company in the US! And, did you know on 9 September 1843 Nancy Johnson of Philadelphia got her "artificial freezer" patented? It consisted of a tub, cylinder, lid, dasher and crank and the design is still in use today! Happy St. Patrick's Day. It's a few days early, but celebration begins this week-end. Mary McCanney Finley
