UGA Conference

I just attended the UGA Conference in Salt Lake City and wanted to share some of the new information I gleaned (not necessarily new, just new to me) while attending:

• The prices for obtaining document packages from the NARA are going up significantly. The price change takes place on October 1st. So if they receive your order by September 30th, you can still get copies of the files you need at the old price. Although, we all hate to see prices rise, I can understand why the NARA needed to raise their fees. It is quite time comsuming to print off these files, which in some cases can be over 100 pages. Time is money in this world we live in.
• Genealogy Musts - Blogs, Podcasts, RSS Feeds - The best way to find out at a moment's notice what is new in the world of genealogy. (Okay, so I have been slow in getting on the genealogy band wagon). A person will find new resources every couple of days, by using these sites, they are also the place to find the best genealogical information. As you can see I am a fast learner, since I now have my own blog.
• You can publish your genealogy via a RootsWeb Website. Since I have all my personal genealogy on WorldConnect, I plan on utilizing this feature
• Take advantage of Genealogy Conferences. You will get information you most likely would never find on your own and you are getting that infomration from people who know what they are talking about.
