You should easily recognise us, as I have no doubt Jackie will be wearing one of her fabulous hats and I am planning to wear a rather gawdy striped blazer with a dark blue Yorkshire tie! We will have some ties for sale on the stand, if anyone wants to buy one, BTW. We have given our joint presentation for the last few years in the SoG's Regional Workshop but this year Jackie will be leading with her presentation of online resources for Yorkshire, which is what most people seem to want to know about these days. I will follow up with a presentation on Yorkshire record offices, local studies libraries and museums, etc, and will have a handout to give away. If you are planning to be at Olympia, then do drop by the stand. -- Roy Stockdill Genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
