8:15 AM Private User - Krotoschin and its Virtual Cemetery

Malka Mysels, I am speaking Monday in the Gesher Galicia SIG, not in the Lithuania SIG.

I will check with Pamela Weisberger if there has been a change to this.

Pam Karp Thanks for the correction. When you have the exact details let me know, so we can add an updated schedule.

Unless there are changes, the Gesher Galicia SIG has been scheduled at 10.15am in the Amnon room.

No idea of the room capacity, between 40-80 is the indication.

Malka Mysels, thank you for continually updating the Schedule.

Thanks. I looked through the schedule. What I found missing was I guess what you might call "popular genealogy". My interest in genealogy to a large part is connecting people together. I am interested in finding and actually meeting (in person, if possible) more third, forth and fifth cousins. Geni and facebook have been the main tools to allow me to do that, yet I don't really see them mentioned at all in the program. I would also like to brainstorm with others on ways to get more people involved in their own family research. This will be my first conference. Any suggestions from the veterans out there?

Charles Lebow,

I have never thought about it. I do know that you used FTJP to find me.

Charles Lebow Once you register at the conference you will receive a list of all attendees, and you might find some familiar names there.

Also, attending meetings from the country of your family's origin might be helpful.
See http://www.iajgs2015.org/schedule/index.php, and then
Search by Type: "SIG - Special Interest Group (SIG)", or Search by Topic:

Also, we would love to see you at the Geni booth anytime, plus try and make it to these special Geni events.

WEDNESDAY

9:15 AM Randy Schoenberg - Privacy Issues with Online Trees

THURSDAY

2:00 PM BOF - GENI member get-together

The conference Discussion Thread is always a good resource for additional information.

Malka, if you have time, can you add the Geni BOF to the project page?
