I'm excited to be a part of this innovative new conference that really breaks down the barriers to conference attendance. I'll be teaching a brand new presentation on searching for common surnames with Google (and surnames that double as common words in the English language - I've got solutions for you!) Here are all the details from Family Tree University...
CINCINNATI, July 5, 2011—For genealogists who find themselves too busy or too cash-strapped to travel for conferences this year—or who just want more learning opportunities—Family Tree University's first Virtual Conference will be August 19-21.
