Linda, Wendy, and I attended the Massachusetts Genealogical Council seminar held at Brandeis University last Saturday. It was a well-attended event with several presentations on Ethnicity and Genealogy. The program sessions and workshops were excellent, and I learned a great deal about Irish and Scottish genealogy, two of my genealogical interests that I am keen to learn more about. I plan to add some notes from the sessions to the blog later this week, and I hope that others will find them useful.
The Massachusetts Genealogical Council is very active in preserving historical records and maintaining public rights to access of records. For more information about the MGC please visit their website at: http://www.massgencouncil.org.
