[Genealib] Need speakers for a genealogy conference

[Susan Scouras]

Thank you!  I will forward it to our group.  Would you be comfortable
identifying your speaker and giving a "review" of the presentation?
Erlanger is close enough to Charleston that they could probably pay the
travel costs for a speaker who could travel to you.  
 
By the way, I'm a native Kentuckian, MSLS from UK in '77.

	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

		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
