A week ago I was in sunny Arizona to do a seminar in Sun City for the West Valley Genealogical Society. I had the opportunity to experience a tour of their library. Wow! It’s huge, has books, atlases, many computers, databases, space to research, and more. I think I could have spent several days there. […]

I just returned from a long trip that was mostly business related but I also enjoyed a few days in the warm sun of Arizona. The four days there went by too fast and I returned to snowy and cold Minnesota. I was in many states on this driving trip: Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, […]
I just finished two great seminar weekends. The first was March 16th with the Dallas Genealogical Society and on the 23d with the Conejo Valley [CA] Genealogical Society. It’s always tough to leave the places where I present the seminars and have spent time renewing old friendships and meeting new friends. It was even tougher […]

Spring is always a busy time of the year. I didn’t help that by doing something to my left knee at at Minnesota Twins game on Easter Sunday. Didn’t break it but it decided to give out under me as I was walking down steps. Really quite comical but the pain wasn’t too funny. My […]
I just returned from the 2011 Ohio Genealogical Society Conference in Columbus, Ohio. I presented three sessions, saw many friends and colleagues, learned some from other attendees, and most of all, came away with a smile. When I present genealogy lectures I also receive education. As soon as I work on a handout and lecture […]
