>Sorry, I have been off line a couple of days. The following is a summary of where
we are on the event.

>I am a member of the Saline County Tourism Board, which is going to sponsor an event
we are calling Southeastern Illinois Genealogy Homecoming. The tentative date is
Labor Day weekend (Sept. 2-3). The idea is to bring people living away from here (as
well as locals) who are interested in southeastern Illinois genealogy together (kind
of a return to your roots theme). The location will be S.I.C. as a central meeting
place and a point of departure for other events, such as a bus tour to scenic or
historical sites, cemetery visits, research trips, etc. So far the SAline County
Genealogy Society has agreed to open its library for that weekend and the Saline
County Circuit Clerk and County Clerk have agreed to keep their offices open that
weekend. We would like to involve Hamilton, White, Gallatin, Pope, Hardin and
Williamson Counties as well as Saline. The event would be promoted primarily on the
net and through genealogy groups newsletters, as well as some local media.
