Please take the time to complete the very brief survey
found at the URL at the end of this message!

This is an excerpt from the Eastman Online Genealogy Newsletter:

- Family History Television Seeks Your Input

OK, it is time to take the wraps off something. While it has not
yet been formally announced, some of you who were at the recent
National Genealogical Society annual conference in Portland,
Oregon may already be aware of a number of television camera crews
in the Exhibitor's Hall on Friday and Saturday. You may also have
seen me holding a microphone and standing in front of a television
camera, sometimes alone and at other times interviewing various
people. The camera crews are from The Studio, Inc., and they have
a major project underway that will be of interest to genealogists
all over the United States. Now they are seeking your input.

The Studio, Inc., isn't exactly a stranger to genealogy. In the
past 13 months they have produced more than 20 genealogy and
family history videos, using several well-known genealogy experts
as hosts. I have reviewed a number of these videos in this
newsletter, and I believe there will be even more videos released
in the near future.

During the NGS 2001 conference, crews from The Studio conducted
interviews with experts in attendance and documented some of the
convention. Producer Stephen Lemmon of The Studio plans to develop
a television series dealing with the subject of family history.
Judging from their track record, they are serious about what they
say. Several well-known genealogy experts are involved with this
potential new television show. The large genealogy conference in
Portland was an excellent place to find genealogy products,
services and experts. I was asked to host a segment of this series
that highlights some of the products represented in the exhibit
hall. We hope that this part of Family History Television will
become a TV version of this newsletter.

The Studio is looking for input in a short survey. They would like
to know if you are interested in such a Family History Television
program, what type of content you would like to see, and whether
you prefer it to be carried on cable, satellite, or both. They are
not collecting any personal data or e-mail addresses for marketing
in any way. You will notice that they never ask for your name,
address, telephone number or e-mail address.

If you would like to see television programming for family history
become available, please take a minute and fill out a short on-
line survey at http://www.familyhistory.tv/survey.
