Hello all! I am vice president of the Middlesex Chapter of the Massachusetts Society of Genealogists. We are currently scheduling our speakers for our 2015-2016 program. Please see our call for presentations below. Kind regards, Deborah Lee Stewart *Middlesex Chapter* *Massachusetts Society of Genealogists, Inc. (MSOG)* *Call for Presentations ~ 2015-2016 Programs* The Middlesex Chapter of MSOG is always looking for new speakers and topics that span the range of genealogy and family history research. Topics may include any facet of genealogical research, including technology and tools; subjects should draw on the speaker’s areas of expertise, yet be broad enough to appeal to a general audience. Proposals may address any genealogical subject such as court records, ethnic research, military records, methodology, migration, writing, colonial research, problem solving, at the beginning, intermediate, or advanced level of research. Proposals for interactive workshops are encouraged. The Middlesex Chapter meets on the second Saturday of the month from September to June. Proposals are being accepted for meetings that will be held from September 2015 through June 2016. The submission deadline is 1 June 2015; submission requirements are outlined below. Applicants will be notified by 30 June 2015. Speaker will receive an honorarium based on experience. Proposals are being accepted for a one-hour presentation followed by questions and answers. *Proposals are being solicited from speakers who are local to Middlesex County.* Travel expenses are not offered.

The following information should be included: · Title of presentation along with a summary and learning objectives. · Speaker’s full name, postal and e-mail addresses, and telephone number. · Brief speaker biography for newsletter and website [50-60 word maximum]. · Summary of speaker’s recent lecture experience. We look forward to receiving proposals from speakers who have a topic they would like to share with our members.
