[Genealib] Need speakers for a genealogy conference

[Lesley Daley]

Hi Susan,
 
We found our genetic genealogy speaker on this website (the International Society of Genetic Genealogists): 
http://www.isogg.org/.
 
Just click on the Speaker List and you'll see a list of speakers broken down by region.
Hope that helps!
 
Thanks,
 
Lesley

Subject: [Genealib] Need speakers for a genealogy conference

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
