Second Saturdays.
The turnout for the Second Saturday workshops for both April and May have been impressive. Well over sixty probably closer to seventy-five were in attendance.
April's presentation was focused on DNA. There is much to learn. The registrants had many questions as to be expected. DNA among many genealogists is still a frontier.
The May presentation featured a hands on research of the genealogy of two different individuals. Some what more advanced and complex than what we would offer in a genealogy 101 class. To me it is always helpful to have case studies like the two presented this past Saturday.
Gearing up for the 2013 seminar. Mark Lowe will be the speaker. I have heard Mark and he his very, very good. I look forward to being there.
I'll try not to wait so long in returning to this blog.
