[Genealib] Need speakers for a genealogy conference

[Susan Scouras]

The Mining Your History Foundation, the Friends of the Library group for
the West Virginia Archives and History Library, will be having their
annual meeting and workshops in The Cultural Center, Charleston, WV, on
November 3, 2007.  They would like to have a speaker/presenter on using
DNA for family history purposes, and one for funerary art (tombstones,
statues, flagholders, plaques, etc.).  Regarding DNA, they would like
someone who can explain the science of it in layman's terms, how to go
about arranging for testing of family groups, how to find a reliable
lab, etc. I do not think they want a vendor of DNA services.  I will be
directing them to a couple of Web sites that I already know about, but I
know the participants in this list have dealt with far more workshops
and speakers than I have, and I would like to take advantage of your
expertise.  
 
Unless others express interest in the replies, please reply off-list to
susan.scouras at wvculture.org.
 
Thanks,
Susan
