Dear Members,
The Farmington Genealogical Society, The Fox Run Genealogical Society, The Redford Historical & Genealogical Society and the Northville Genealogical Society are excited to present an “Ancestry Day Seminar” on Saturday, August 22nd from 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. located at the Fox Run Community in Novi, MI. We have two outstanding speakers, Lisa Arnold from The Generations Network (Ancestry.com) and Joel Stone, Curator of the Detroit Historical Museum. There will be four presentations. The seminar costs only $8.00 per person and this includes a hot buffet lunch.
This will be a popular seminar and will be greatly promoted. Seating will be limited so please register early (hopefully before the middle of July) in order to reserve your spot(s). The major promotion will begin in the middle of July.
Please visit the Farmington Genealogical Society website, http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mifarmgs/ for more information including a flyer, registration form, agenda, and parking information. The pages are on Adobe. If you do not have Abode, you can download it for free from the following website, http://www.adobe.com/downloads/. To register, please complete a registration and mail the form and a check to the address on the form.
Volunteers
We are also looking for volunteers for the seminar. We need volunteers for the registration desk, for seating guests in the auditorium, to direct guests through the facilities, to assist at the parking lot, and some miscellaneous positions. Please indicate on your registration form if you are willing to volunteer and also let me or Sue Cromwell, GeneBugSue@aol.com know as well so that we can properly plan for the event.
Thank you and hope to see you there.
