GSNJ is very pleased to announce that once again we are co-sponsoring a
wonderful lecture series with the NJ State Archives - "Exploring Your
Jersey Roots III" There are too many details to squeeze into an email -
but here are the highlights!

"Jersey Roots III" will be held on Wednesday evenings from April 26
through May 24 and the grand finale for the series will be the all-day
GSNJ Spring Program on Saturday, June 3.

The evening lectures have wonderful topics and speakers - information
follows:
26 April:Internet Sources for NJ Genealogy

Saturday, June 3 will have a military theme and will be part of a two
track event. Lectures will be:

The second track on Saturday will be "Ask the Experts." There will be
both a panel format and one-on-one consultations with either an Archives
staff member, a GSNJ Trustee, or other professional genealogist.

Saturday, June 3, will also feature a genealogy book fair with a number
of vendors. BooksNJ, the Capital Bookstore, will also be open for the
day (and offering a 10% discount to all attendees!)

Everything will be happening in Trenton. The evening lectures will all
be held in the NJ State Archives manuscript reading room and will also
feature some extended hours in the microfilm reading room for attendees.
Saturday's events will be hosted in the NJ State Museum Auditorium and
the NJ State Archives building.

Wednesday evening lectures begin at 6:30 and Saturday, June 3,
registration will begin at 8:30, lectures at 9:30 and the day will end
around 3:30. Light refreshments will be provided for the evening
lectures and box lunches will be served on Saturday.

Details and Registration forms will be available very soon on both the
GSNJ website and on the NJ State Archives websites - as soon as the
webmasters can get the details arranged in an easy to access format...
GSNJ hopes to have the information up on the website over this weekend.
Please take a look at <www.gsnj.org> The State Archives should also
have the information up very soon. See their website at

We hope that you will all be able to join us for at least a few of these
exciting topics and events!
