I wanted to echo Richard's comments. What a wonderful idea! I would love to
receive more information on the set up and execution of this project....
exactly how it was designed, etc. I might be possible for us to replicate at
the Orlando May 2003 conference with a booth, should we be successful in
creating a Florida chapter. It would be a great way to introduce ourselves
to the genealogy-loving participants in that conference here in Central
Florida. It might not be a bad idea to use this structure for other types of
events, should we decide that we'd like to "market" the APG.

Thanks for sharing with us about this "Ancestors Road Show!"
