PedigreeSoft.com will host two booths at BYU's 2006 Computerized Genealogy Conference in Provo, Utah on March 10th & 11th, 2006.

BYU 2006 Computerized Genealogy Conference
"March 10–11, 2006, are the dates of this year’s Computerized Genealogy Conference. This conference is designed to be a how-to guide for everyone, including beginning, intermediate, and advanced researchers. Join us to learn how advancements in computer programs have revolutionized genealogical and family history work.

The featured presenters for this conference will be Curt B. Witcher and Alan Mann. Witcher is the department manager for the Historical Genealogy Department of the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He is the past president and current director of the Federation of Genealogical Societies, and past president of the National Genealogical Society. He also serves as a member of the Genealogy Committee of the American Library Association.

Alan Mann is a manager of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah and is an accredited genealogist researcher in England, the Channel Islands, and Australia.

At the Computerized Genealogy Conference last year, more than 600 participants learned about new programs that can simplify and enhance genealogical research. Topics included running genealogy software, working with databases, e-mailing to do genealogy, and finding useful tools on the Internet. Some of our participants summed up their experience at the conference by saying, “I learned everything I hoped to learn,” and “I’m full of new ideas, enthusiasm, and new skills, ready to get to work when I get home!” Vendors were available throughout the conference to showcase their products. Mark your calendars now for our March 10–11, 2006, Computerized Genealogy Conference, which promises to introduce to you the newest ideas in genealogical research.
