Subject: Hopping a train to FGS/NEHGS Boston
Date: Sun, 27 Aug 2006 17:24:11 -0400


Hello,

Below you will find train, commuter rail and subway routes to The
Federation of Genealogical Societies Conference at the Hynes Convention
Center in Boston this week (August 30-September 2). Note handicap
accessible station icons in the links. Bus routes references are also
available on the system wide map.

While Boston traffic will be light during this pre-Labor Day vacation
week, parking and hotel savings outside the city, combined with the
extensive public transportation system, is a very convenient option.
Email me if you are interested in hotel recommendations in Waltham -
convenient to the Federal Archives, Lexington/Concord side trips and
both Belmont and Waltham train connections.

Download the FGS/NEHGS Conference PDF overview at
www.ancestralmanor.com/mp3/FGSPR.pdf and open the bookmarks to view
highlighted segments with clickable links.
