The Federation of Genealogical Societies will hold their next meeting 3-6 September 2008 with the theme “Footprints of Family History” in recognition of the fact that the host city Philadelphia was the place where the ancestors of millions of Americans first set foot on the continent. The conference committee is fashioning a program that pays homage to this region’s rich history as well as topics at the very cutting-edge of family history, including: • Research in the Mid-Atlantic states, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware • DNA’s ever larger impact on genealogy • Tracks on the area’s major ethnic groups such as English, Irish, and Germans • Topics helpful to African-American research • How “material culture” can enrich family history • Society management presentations • Military records relating to a variety of conflicts
