Each are also involved in various genealogy related projects, such as the digi-mag, The In-Depth Genealogist, and the upkeep of Conference Keeper, a site dedicated to compiling world-wide resources on educational opportunities for family historian’s.

I’m in!! The chats seem to be on Friday and Saturday mornings, which are just perfect for me! (I couldn’t do M, T, W, Th.) Nice badge, too.
Stephanie, what a great idea! I think it will be a huge success. I’ll promote it on our society’s FB and Twitter page.
