This should be a very productive week for me. I'm getting some great training for my full-time job and I'm accomplishing some goals for my genealogy avocation, too. Thanks Randy, Miriam, and Janice!

I just wish they'd put MORE online. I understood through a press release that they were planning to work with Ancestry.com on some projects, but that thought really scares me....

I came away each time with inches of paper copies and notes and the feeling that there was so much more for me to find. I wish I lived closer! Receiving the NEHGR and NEA and using the web site databases are not enough even now 20 years after I started. I hope you find more worthwhile stuff on Thursday! I'm sure that you will.
