August19 thru August 21 St. Paul's Sheraton Four Points Hotel hosts the 2005 Federation of Eastern European Family History Societies conference with over ninety topics in sixteen sessions. The opening session is Dee Simon on "Dare to Discover- Extending Research into the Eastern European States" followed by sessions on research in Austria-Hungary, Germany, Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, the Ukraine, the Balkans, Finland, Norway, Lithuania, and Switzerland and various applicable research topics, such as using the Meyers-Orts Lexikon, Cyrillic alphabet, reading Latin, Hamburg Passenger Lists, ethnic group settlements and migration patterns. I will be a speaker on Saturday August 20th at 2:45 pm. on the "Genealogical Resources of the Immigration History Research Center".

I am excited to have the national forum speaking experience, which I hope to continue in the future, along with publishing articles on my areas of knowledge and expertise in genealogical publications. I am also looking forward to meeting two of the speakers whose work I have read over the years, Larry Jensen and Ed Brandt. You can see the conference information at:
