Subject: [GEN-EVENTS-L] Ohio Summer Camp for Genealogists
Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2003 14:39:27 -0400


Kids and grandkids get to go to summer camp and have fun with their friends.
Why should you be any different? Come to Mansfield, Ohio for a week-long
workshop June 22-27 sponsored by the Ohio Genealogical Society and learn
about all aspects of genealogy. You may pick up tips that help you through
that brick wall or learn a tidbit from that may surprise you. Time is
allowed for research in the OGS library where the classes are held.

Now is the time to set aside this special week just for you to devote to
your favorite pastime. It will actually save you research time and money by
giving you information on how to find more quickly the answers to your
family history questions
and inspire you to pursue the correct avenues of research.

Topics of the 1-hour presentations include citing sources, census, migration
patterns, library tour, military records, German research, probate and other
court records, preservation, immigration and naturalization, newspaper
research, cemeteries and funeral homes, church records, computers,
researching the elusive female ancestor, land plotting, using maps, oral
history, vital records, lineage societies and fraternal organizations,
family history centers, publishing considerations, and neglected and little
used resources.

For more information call the Ohio Genealogical Society at (419) 756-7294 or
go to www.OGS.org for the entire brochure and registration form.

Best wishes for a productive summer!
