Join Us in Little Rock in September!

Who would want to miss four full days of genealogical education (and fun) surrounded by others who understand what you do and actually want to talk about it? The 2009 Federation of Genealogical Societies Conference will be held September 2-5, 2009 in beautiful and amazing Little Rock, Arkansas. The local host is the Arkansas Genealogical Society. Four days? A couple of sessions on Tuesday make it 4.25 days!

What is a FGS Conference? Four full days of education, networking, vendors, lectures, fun, laughs, food, learning more about running genealogical societies or a Family History Center, expanding your knowledge of research in many states and countries and at a variety of research places. Learn more about your favorite databases and upcoming additions. Come and be part of the genealogical family and immerse yourself in four days of talking genealogy with folks who speak the same language.

Register by June 2, 2009 and save $50.00 off the full conference registration cost. That is a significant savings, but to take advantage of this make your online reservation before the end of June 2d or make sure your regular mail registration is postmarked on or before June 2d. Of course, you may register after that, but saving $50.00 is mighty tempting as many have already indicated by registering for this exciting conference.
