It looks like I won’t be seeing fall in New England this year, but I’m excited to get a bit of New England genealogy this Friday at the California Genealogical Society Seminar in Oakland when the New England Historic and Genealogical Society Comes West.
Genealogists David Allen Lambert and Rhonda McClure will be presenting an all-day seminar followed by dinner and presentations with NEHGS President Brenton Simons. The sessions sound great — it’s going to be hard to choose which ones to attend — and I’ll have a chance to catch up with GeneaBloggers who will be attending.
The event is Friday, October 26, 2012 8:30 am to 4:00 pm at His Lordships, Berkeley Marina, 199 Seawall Drive, Berkeley, CA.
Sessions Include
Option A: Beyond the Grave: Looking Past Your Ancestor’s Death Record (David)
Option B: Unique Resources in NY State Research (Rhonda)
Option A: New Resources on AmericanAncestors.org for New England Research (David)
Option B: Researching NY City Ancestors (Rhonda)
Option A: Getting the Most out of New England Vital Records Online, in Print and on Film (David)
Option B: The Golden Door Has Locks: Tracing Immigrant Ancestors (Rhonda)
Option A: Researching New England Military Records (David)
Option B: I Can’t Find It: Understanding Online Search Limitations (Rhonda)

Sheri dear, you know I'd love to see you anytime!!! I bet you are all wrapped up with your Rhode Island ancestors!
You are in for a treat. I heard Rhonda give an excellent presentation on Cluster Research last weekend in Boston.

Denise Dahling! Are you coming North just for the day or will you be staying so I can visit with you????? Unfortunately I won't be attending the event in Oakland but will manage to find my way to the Bay area to see you if you have time.
