Are you going to ALA in Philadelphia in January?  It's not too late to register for the genealogy preconference, to be held at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.  The speakers are:  professional genealogist James Beidler, "Searching for a Pennsylvania German Ancestor"; Ellen Dunlap, president of the American Antiquarian Society, "Clio and Her Kissin' Cousins"; Susanna Morikawa and Pat O'Donnell of the Friends Historical Library who will talk about Quaker Records; Jerry Haslam, assistant professor of history at BYU, "The Evolution of Colonial American Paleography from the 1600s to the Late 1700s"; and Dick Eastman of Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter, "Looking to the Future - What Librarians Should Know."  
 
It is going to be a very interesting and informative day.  Find out about registration prices from http://www.ala.org/ala/eventsandconferencesb/midwinter/2008/otherevents.htm
