It's called GEN-EVENTS. Topics include "schedules, topics and speakers for genealogy events worldwide including conferences, meetings, conventions, seminars, etc." Tours and family reunions apparently fall under "etc." and occasionally posted. I subscribe just because I find the postings interesting to hear what is going on at events throughout the country and occasionally beyond. For subscription details see http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Miscellaneous/GEN-EVENTS.html Also go to http://lists.rootsweb.com/ and check out the items under "Other" at the bottom of the page. RootsWeb hosts a huge amount of specialty lists that aren't dedicated specifically to surnames or localities. Still anxiously awaiting my trip to Monroe County at mid month :) Best wishes, Bonnie -- Bonnie (Gallagher) Gilson, Phoenix, AZ, USA mailto:[email protected] http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~bgilson/ ~ RootsWeb Donor ~ --WebTV-Mail-11600-3841--
