Hi Folks, The following article should be accessible to everyone whether or not you are a member of NEHGS: A Research Trip to the Family History Library: Twenty Reasons You Should Go http://www.newenglandancestors.org/articles/research/?page_id=659&attrib 1=1&page_id=592&attrib1=1&seq_num=306 or for a shorter URL, use: http://snipurl.com/7uot Well... I can add at least two more reasons to visit the Family History Library during the dates of 10 September through 12 September 2004! 1) The Sackett Family Association's (TSFA) Family Gathering is being held in Salt Lake City on those dates. You will find more information about this gathering at: http://www.geocities.com/sackettreunion/index.htm or for a shorter URL, use: http://snipurl.com/7uor 2) Meet your fellow surname researchers up close and personal!! :) I personally would love to meet you there between 10 September and 12 September, 2004!! By all means arrange your stay to begin as many days ahead or after this event as your schedule permits, to get in a lot of genealogy research! My husband Bill and I already have our plane tickets and our reservations made at the Holiday Inn - Downtown where the TSFA Family Gathering is being held. It should be a lot of fun and be productive at the same time! I hope you will consider attending the TSFA Family Gathering this year. If you have any questions concerning any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
