National Conference - Final Day

We attended a class during each session again today. This was a great conference; our fifth, and each time I'm energized and ready to try new ideas. Although tonight we're just worn out!

We managed to find a few items for door prizes next year; also purchased books for the club and for personal use.

Dick's impressions today: Roots Magic's Version 6 has many new features, including a research log, to-do list and integrating with GenSmarts. He also heard more about the "new" Family Search.

The first session that I attended today was called Analyzing Deeds and Wills. Elizabeth Shown Mills (the expert on evidence and sourcing) put together two very complicated documents and demonstrated how to analyze each one. I learned a great deal in a class on ePublishing, where the instructor suggested writing immediately about projects or research and publishing as you go. She discussed both publishing in an electronic format and on paper.
