The Genealogy & Family History Social Network
Why should I go to a genealogical conference?
Genealogy can be a very solitary activity. Although you may have contact with your family and with other researchers, most of the work you do is done by yourself. Even though you may read journals, magazine articles and online resources about the work of doing genealogy, there are few places you can go to get feedback from knowledgeable people. Genealogical conferences provide the motivation to re-energize and re-think methods, procedures and sources. The social atmosphere of the conference allows you to share questions and concerns with others of the same interest. It is also reassuring to know that there really are people out there who don't think working on your genealogy is a waste of time.

I am Susan Cruse also with several GW groups. I am Deaf. This morning I happen to find your excellent article about why a person should go to genealogical conferences. I have been trying to reach you to discuss this issue, but I think I have not reached you. This is a huge issue among us Deaf. It is why many of us do not deal in genealogy. I want very much to discuss this not only with you but with other members of our GW groups. I want to present our facts and frustrations and be able to discuss them with hearing genealogists with a hope of finding some positive solutions and bringing more Deaf into this large, important aspect of all our lives: our genealogies. If you like, my email addresse is deafmtnbear@gmail.com I am currently in western Oregon.Thank You
