It is hard to believe that the Wyoming Expo is already history! We had a great time, made some new life friends and we are looking forward to doing it again. The folks attending the Wyoming Expo were some of the most grateful people we have ever had the opportunity to serve. I guess they just don't get this kind of attention very often and so they really appreciated the opportunity to expand, learn, and share. This is what it is all about! Thanks Wyoming, we had a great time!

I am having a great time in Sheridan at the Family History Expo. The opening speech by Barry Ewell was excellent. He's funny and serious and very emphatic about genealogical research. I just heard Arlene Eakle speak on Scottish Marriage Records. It was also excellent. I would have enjoyed some examples, but with the syllabus I printed off, her message just came to life.
