Hello everyone, As per requests from some of you for more information on the 2002 NGS Conference in the States Milwaukee, Wisconsin 15-18 May 2002 Midwest Express Center 400 W. Wisconsin Avenue Here is the URL for all the information on speakers, classes etc. http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/2002cover.htm Usually we have almost 2000 genealogists, amateur and professional, attending these conferences. I learn so much when I attend these wonderful classes. The roster of speakers are top notch national lecturers and teachers. Classes are very professionally presented. It is a wonderful opportunity for those of us that are totally addicted to mingle and get to know so many people just like us! And you just might meet a cousin! I have seen it happen many times, so bring your pedigrees with you. Oh yes-and I can't forget to mention the VENDOR hall! I usually have to bring an extra EMPTY bag with me to carry ALL those great books, cd's, maps and much more home with me on the plane. My credit card hurts for many months afterwards! You just might find that one book on Milwaukee or someplace else that you have been searching for. Have I made enough of a pitch for the conference? Why don't you come join me when I get to visit Milwaukee for the first time. I can hardly wait! Marilyn (Schmalz)Fiedler ms.fiedler@att.net ps: Thanks to all who have been e-mailing me with info on where to research and some who have checked resources for me. I really appreciate it. I will be posting more on my names very soon, after a lovely little 10 month old gentleman goes home to Mama.
