#FxGS 2016 Spring Conference: Will you spot Cousin Russ' hat?

 

DearREADERS,
In true 21st century style, Cousin Russ will appear in person while DearMYRTLE appears virtually as we present a track of four classes on Friday, 1 April 2016 at the Fairfax Genealogical Society's annual Spring Fair. We will be using Google+ Hangouts On Air for these presentations. Times listed below are in the US Eastern - New York time zone.


• 2pm - 3pm Does Genealogy Software Limit Our Thinking?
• 3:15pm - 4:15pm Information Overload
• 6pm - 7pm Thoughtful Analysis: Avoid Jumping to Conclusions
• 7:15pm - 8:15pm Finally Get Organized! Overcoming Paper Challenges in A Digital World

Sure, it's April Fools Day, but we've got some great ideas to blast through your genealogical brick walls and update your "current thinking."
