In addition to her talk, “Your Genealogical Report Card”, Ms. Fleming will lead conference sessions on “Squeezing the Records Until They Talk”, “Organizing Your Game Plan”, and “Overlooked Sources Bring New Possibilities”.
Other sessions will cover mapping; hereditary societies, certificate programs, and lineage research projects; African-American research; the forgotten censuses; using databases; beginning genealogy; GEDCOM; Southern Claims Commission; placing your research on the web; and identifying railroads, their records and location.
Clay County Archives members who attended the conference last year found it to be a most worthwhile experience. For more information go to www.mosga.org, contact Nancy Thomas by email at
