I am really excited about the Federation of Genealogical Studies Conference being held in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. It is only a few hours from my home. It will be from August 21-24, 2013. This will be my first opportunity to attend a conference. I can't wait to see what they are all about!
My husband will think it is just another way for me to spend money. He doesn't understand my obsession with finding out about a bunch of dead people. He does enjoy it when I present him with information on his family. His eyes glaze over when I talk about it too much though. I did find out that his great great grandfather is also the great great grandfather of DearMRYTLE. His great great grandmother, Callie Phillips, was the first wife of William Henry Phillips and her great great grandmother married him after his first wife died.
I hope DearMRYTLE makes it to the conference. I would love to meet her.
The purpose of my blog is to record my family history and genealogy on my mother's side of the family. The surnames include Hoover, Pickett (Piggott), Eccles, Huddleston, Manis (Maness), Gipson, (Gibson) Gifford, Lawson, Fish,and and other in my family tree. I will continue my genealogy research as I try to help others with their genealogy. I don't guarantee that all my genealogical conclusions are correct, they are a work in progress.
