[Genealib] Need speakers for a genealogy conference

[Susan Scouras]

My apologies.  This was intended to be off-list, and I was surprised
when it popped up on the list.  I thought I had copied and pasted the
direct e-mail address into my reply (I did not hit "reply"), but must
have accidentally copied the entire line.  
 
I have received many replies off-list and have replied to them off-list
as well.  Thank you to those who responded.

	Shouldn't this be off list?

	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
