JOIN THE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS

The enthusiasm continues to grow for these informal mini-gatherings which will be held on the first night of the Conference -- Thursday at 7:30 pm -- on a wide range of topics. These get-togethers provide a great opportunity to meet conference participants and speakers with similar interests.

If you want to learn more about DNA research and how it can help you in your family research then “DNA Research and Developments” hosted by Melinde Lutz Sanborn is the research group for you. Did you ever wonder how to maximize the wealth of resources at the National Archives? Join Federal Records at NARA hosted by Walter Hickey. If Scottish heritage is one of your special interests, join the group on Scottish Research hosted by Diane Rapaport, “Scottish Genealogy” columnist for The Highlander magazine.
