Florida State Genealogical Society Conference in Orlando!

The Florida State Genealogical Society announces its 31st Annual Genealogy
Conference to be held 9-10 November 2007 at the Sheraton Orlando Downtown
Hotel on beautiful Lake Ivanhoe in Orlando, Florida. The Central Florida
Genealogical Society will be the local host this year's conference.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR THE OCTOBER 16TH DEADLINE FOR DISCOUNTS ON BOTH THE
CONFERENCE AND THE HOTEL!

Our featured guest speakers are nationally-recognized experts Dr. Thomas H.
Shawker, M.D., and Patricia O'Brien Shawker, CG SM. The Shawkers will
present topics related to the use of DNA in genealogical research and use of
NARA records, respectively. They will be joined by seven additional
excellent speakers presenting lectures about: using the Internet and
library/archive resources in your research; digital photography;
little-known 20th century sources; immigration; research in newspapers and
in territorial records; identification and dating of photographs; document
preservation; a variety of topics about record types and research
methodologies. This conference program is filled with something for
everyone!

The annual gala banquet, held on Friday night, will celebrate and honor
individuals who have documented their Florida pioneer ancestors through the
Florida Pioneer Descendant Program and certificates will be presented to
qualifying descendants of pioneers who settled in Florida prior to statehood
on 3 March 1845. In addition, awards will be bestowed on individuals who
have exemplified their dedication to genealogy.

Vendors of genealogical publications and supplies, and representatives from
many genealogical and historical societies will be exhibiting in a vendor
hall adjacent to the lecture venues in the hotel. The Florida Chapter of the
Association of Professional Genealogists will host an "Ancestor Road Show"
to assist individuals with research problems.
Advance registration is suggested. October 16th is the cutoff date for early
bird registration discounts for both the conference and the hotel!
