Phyllis -------- Original Message -------- Subject: For the newsletter and publicity Date: Sat, 17 Nov 2001 00:22:54 EST From: SylvaCop@aol.com To: sgladwell@qwest.net, phaynen@gte.net, Coanrock@aol.com, mkozy@attglobalnet,blackhrn@gte.net I have verbal confirmation but don't yet have signed contracts, however I expect them back very soon. Gene-A-Rama 2002 Saturday, March 2 We have tentatively contracted with Cyndi Howells of Milton, Washington, and with Connie Lenzen of Portland, Oregon, for two sessions each during Gene-A-Rama on Saturday, March 2, 2002. Cyndi Howells will present: * The 10 Commandments of Internet Genealogy. Instead of spending a lot of time online learning things the hard way by trial and error, why not learn about the ten most important guidelines for participating in the online world of genealogy? Benefit from lessons learned by others along the way. * The Dos and DON'Ts of a Great Genealogy Home Page. We won't discuss the technical methods of creating a personal home page for genealogy, but instead will focus on what things you should be sure to include on your home page to make it a helpful research tool. Learn how having a home page of your own will enhance your research, as well as what things to avoid and how to attract visitors to your web site in order to reach that distant cousin out there in genealogical cyberspace. Connie Lenzen will present: * The Taxing Details; Tax Records for Genealogists. The census taker may have skipped your ancestor, but the taxman rarely did. Tax records provide information on what your ancestor owned, how old he was, where his land was located, suggest clues as to his relatives, and tell you when he arrived of left an area. They confer form and substance to and individual. * Twentieth Century Research; If I Knew Them, Why Can't I Find Them? Genealogists have one, two or three generations of ancestors to track through the 20th century; a century marked by an emphasis on privacy and the closure of records. What does one do if grandpa and grandma did not leave information on the family birthplace? Where do you turn after you have exhausted your home records and your relatives have told you everything they know? This promises to be a very exciting lineup of topics, and should draw a great many people to our annual seminar. We suggest those wanting to attend signup early as seating at the church is limited. Flyers will be distributed beginning in early January. Sylva Coppock Seminar Chairperson --part1_11.1de3a9ac.2929b586_boundary--
