FGS/NEHGS 2006 Genealogy Conference in Boston: Early Discount Deadline July  
1st! 
Are your calendars marked for this coming August 30 to September 2, 2006 for  
a visit to historic Boston? An awesome genealogical event of a lifetime will 
be  taking place in The Birthplace of American Genealogy. The Federation of  
Genealogical Societies and the New England Historic Genealogical Society are  
hosting a spectacular genealogical conference. It is just over two months away  
and the registration and excitement levels are tremendous. You don’t need to  
have a connection to either FGS or NEHGS to register for this conference.  
Everyone is welcome. 
Something for all of you 
Whether you have ancestry in Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, New York,  
California, Connecticut, Missouri, or just about any other locality, there is  
something for you to learn at this conference. In just one building you will 
be  able to listen to speakers from a multitude of countries and states.  
Almost 350 sessions of interest to family historians, writers, editors,  
professional genealogists, lecturers, librarians, archivists, historians,  
columnists, booksellers, and others are being offered. For one conference fee  you 
can attend sessions for four days straight. Many of the sessions deal with  
online research and on top of that, a significant number deal with evaluating  
data found online, finding more details in a wide variety of records, learning  
more about specific records, and more about the libraries, courthouses, and  
archives where millions of records are housed in the U.S., Canada, England,  
Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Scotland, and beyond. 
A special cost savings 
If you register by July 1st (postmark date or securely online at  
_www.FGS.org_ (http://www.fgs.org/) 

) you save $30.00 ($155.00 fee vs.  $185.00 after that date and at the door). 
That fee pays for four full days of  genealogical and historical education. 
Single day registration is also  available.  
Exhibit Hall 
A huge Exhibit Hall will be filled with booth after booth of vendors and  
exhibitors of genealogical software, books (new, old, rare), charts, maps, CDs,  
DVDs, gadgets, and more. The exhibitors will be from the U.S., Canada, 
England,  Ireland, and Scotland. Representatives of historical societies, 
genealogical  societies, libraries, archives, and other places will have booths in the 
exhibit  hall. 
Special Meal Events 
Luncheons and dinners are another important part of these conferences and for 
 a reasonable extra fee, anyone can attend these. (It’s a good way to be sure 
you  have a plan and a seat for lunch!) The website supplies more about each  
conference day’s meal events. These do require an extra fee per meal and  
seasoned conference goers know they need to register for several of these meals  
to enhance the conference experience.
