Hello, all-
I want to pass along information about an upcoming workshop at the 
Newberry library on Maps and Genealogy. Its free, and I thought it might 
interest librarians and genealogy professionals as well as our patrons. 
Here is the program information:

Ancestors: A Genealogist’s Guide to Using Maps and Geography/, will be
