DuPage County Genealogical Society Annual Conference

The DuPage County Genealogical Society is having their 35th annual conference on February 27, 2010. For anyone living in the Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, or Indiana areas this is another wonderful opportunity to meet some terrific fellow genealogists and acquire some great information.
The scheduled speakers include; Jeffrey A. Bockman, Genealogical Lecturer and author, John Philip Colletta, author, lecturer and faculty member at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy, Kathy Meade, U.S. representative for Genline AB and volunteer at the Swedish American Museum in Chicago, and finally Elissa Scalise Powell, certified genealogist, teacher and researcher. There will also be quite a few vendors and exhibitors at this conference.
Have a free Saturday with nothing to do? Make a date and plan on attending this great genealogy conference. Hope to see you there!

The Family

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck
