You are probably familiar with my track record as a regular writer in the commercial family history magazines - particularly Practical Family History - and as a lecturer in genealogy. If not, check me out on the internet.

Hi Roy I'd love for you to come along. I've set up a hub over at http://barcamp.org/Family-History-Camp-2010 If you could add your details that would be great, having your name on there might encourage other people to add theirs.
