________________
THURSDAY, July 22, 2004 SESSIONS (3) are optional. You can sign up for
just this Thursday (one all-day class), but we hope you'll come for the whole
conference, staying over for the Friday & Saturday main portion.

1) HANGING OUT YOUR PROFESSIONAL SHINGLE: HOW-TO FOR THE PERSON WHO WANTS
TO. Presented by Trevia Wooster Beverly, member of the Association for
Professional Genealogists, etc. For questions, contact
Doing any kind of research (or other work) 'for fee' or barter, places
you in a unique category with special responsibilities and ethics. This is
self-employment, which means running your own business. What kind of experience do
you need? What kind of genealogy-related work do you want to do? How will you
get Clients? From reports to your Client to your I.R.S. return, we'll discuss
setting up your home office, what professional groups you may wish to
associate with, techniques and resources. Can you make a profit? Yes, indeed, you can!
From pulling an obituary or a census record or photographing tombstones,
to data entry or filling out lineage papers, to full genealogical research,
etc., this all-day seminar will give new ideas to those already doing it
'professionally' and will help the prospective professional to avoid some pitfalls.
Or, perhaps you want to be a speaker, a genealogy teacher, write a column, do
proofreading, publish records, etc. Due to its nature, this seminar will
include a personal e-mail follow-up after the Conference. ** let me know if you
sign up for this and have any specific questions you want answered.

2) PUBLISHING YOUR FAMILY'S GENEALOGY. Pat Gordon will show how to make
this happen, illustrating PageMaker & Photoshop. Design elements are the same
with any software program, so what is taught is not limited to being used only
with PageMaker & Photoshop. Participants may bring samples with them for
suggestions on design that they might want to use. Session 1: Book layout: From title
page to Index (setting up master pages, naming chapters, font size & style.
Session 2: Special Designs: Working with photographs, maps, and other graphic
elements. Session 3: More Design Elements with emphasis on newsletters.
