Off to Raleigh

DearREADERS,
Its conference time again, so Ol' Myrt will be traveling to Raleigh, North Carolina to attend the National Genealogical Society 2009 Conference to be held the 13th-16th of May.

This year I'll be shadowing the exhibit hall volunteer coordinator in preparation for the 2010 NGS Conference which will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah. This will involve arriving early to be sure the booths are set up with tables and electric and internet access as ordered by vendors.

Perhaps the best part about annual genealogy conferences is the chance to mingle among shelves of genealogy books, view product demos of the latest genealogy software, and see first-hand what's new at FamilySearch, Footnote, Ancestry and other genealogy websites.

Our friends at Moorshead publishing will be there in booth #119. There you'll see sample copies of:

• Family Chronicle magazine
• History Magazine
• Internet Genealogy magazine
• Discovering Family History magazine
• the newest booklet Saving Family History
• 500 Brickwall Solutions
• More Brickwall Solutions
• Identifying Old Photographs
• More Dating Old Photographs

Ol' Myrt plans to be at the booth at least an hour each day, so do stop by and say hello. I'd like your feedback about the blog, and ideas for posts you'd like to see in the future.

Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)
