Discovering Family Treasures
New England Regional Genealogical Conference
22-26 April 2009 ~ Manchester, New Hampshire
Ancestors Road Show
Does your research need a jump start?
- Are you just beginning and don’t know where to start?
- Do you need help reading and analyzing an old document?
- Are you curious how or if DNA can help your research?
- Do you want to write up your family history but don’t know how?
- Are you stuck finding your immigrant ancestor or their naturalization records?
- Are you having trouble locating military records?
- Have you hit a snag with a lineage society application?
Having someone with experience and expertise analyze your work might provide you with a new perspective, new direction, or new ideas for advancing your research or solving that brick wall. The Ancestors Road Show is your chance to consult with a professional genealogist. Genealogists will be available for twenty minute Road Show consultations free to Conference attendees on Friday and Saturday April 24 and 25.
