The Expo will begin with an inspiring message from Lisa Louise Cooke, the producer and host of the Genealogy Gems Podcast. She will also be teaching. Once you hear her keynote speech you will want to start learning new research methods.
M. Bridget Cook will be the featured speaker at the dinner on July 29th. She is a best selling author and biographer. Her book, Shattered Silence, has been featured on Oprah, Dr. Phil, Good Morning America and other national TV shows and in magazines. She will also be teaching classes at the Expo. All of these great speakers and classes can be found at the agenda on the Midwest Family History Expo web site.
There will be vendors and more vendors, including FamilySearch, AGES-online, RootsMagic, Geni.com and the Jackson County Genealogical Society. Be sure you stop by the Ask The Pros table in the exhibit hall. Who can't resist free genealogical advise? We don't even use a crystal ball!
Young and old alike (including those in the middle) will enjoy and benefit from the Family History Expo. The theme this year is "Where Ol' Dogs Learn New Trick!" Indeed they do, but we also teach puppies about old tricks they need to know.
This is the 2nd Annual Family History Expo in the Kansas City area. It will be held at the Overland Park Conference Center, 6000 College Blvd., Overland Park, Kansas.
PS .... my new book Genealogical Research in Nebraska will be available at the Family Roots Publishing Co. vending booth.
