If you are in the NOVA area don't forget that the Fairfax Genealogical Society has their annual Spring Conference coming up in a few weeks. Early bird registration ends on the 15th, so get out there and register! This will be the first year I get to attend. Usually it falls on a weekend where I have prior engagements so I was VERY happy to bale to get there this time. Of course, now I have to make the dreaded descion on which classes I will make. It is one of those times I wish I could be in several places at once.
The following information was forwarded to me by FXGS to post on this blog so you would have this great information. I will be there Saturday of the conference so stop me and say hi if you are there too!!
