Final day of the conference! As before, I attended FGS classes exclusively, even though I had a RootsTech pass. Today we had school children visiting from the surrounding area which increased the attendance significantly. It was great to see their enthusiasm and I wish more of America had that zeal.
The following is a list of classes and events I attended:
· Determining Kinship with DNA by Angie Bush
· APG Sponsored Luncheon: DNA Discoveries: Hidden African Ancestry and Jefferson’s Blood by CeCe Moore
· Google and Beyond: Finding Illustrations and Photographs by Maureen Taylor
· Martha Benschura: Enemy Alien by Judy G. Russell
· EOGN Dinner Party with Dick Eastman
Now for the picture highlights:
