I LOVE the genealogical happy dance! Thanks for having such a great blog. I work for a company that, like you, is focused on teaching others about the techniques and technology available to help people trace their roots. Since you have such a following, I thought you might appreciate knowing about the 2009 California Family History Expo in Redding, Calif., Oct. 16 & 17. This expo is presented by Family History Expos, http://www.fhexpos.com, a well-established Utah-based company.
Thanks, Donna! I don’t know if we will make it to Redding, but we’re happy to encourage others to go!
Craig:
This has been an absolutely brilliant series! I so admire your thought process, logical mind, sense of humor, and willingness to share.
There was so much good information here for my Greene/Green problem. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
