POINT National Conference

Ruth Merrimann (#4887) will be giving a series of five talks on five different topics related to Italian genealogy, at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, one each morning, from Monday, August 18, 2008, through Friday, August, 22. Ruth will repeat the entire series of five talks on Saturday, August 23, 2008, allowing attendees to arrive any time during the week and still hear all her talks.

There will be the opportunity for POINTers attending this series to have Ruth and other Library staff members pre-arrange to have any films needed pulled from the vaults and ready upon arrival, and to help with the reading and interpretation of any records found.

This was a very popular feature of our POINT National Conference in Salt Lake City in 2002.

To order the films you will want, go to: www.familysearch.org, click on the LIBRARY tab, and scroll down to Click here to send us an e-mail.

There is also a place to register for a research series.

It is probably too early to register now, but when the time gets closer - June or so - PLEASE, register so we'll have an idea of how many to expect.
It is not manadtory, but a good idea.

All of the above will be FREE OF CHARGE!

We are planning to have a meeting of POINTers In Person chapter leaders and representatives following Ruth’s talk on Friday morning, and a POINT banquet on Friday evening, at 6pm at Buca di Beppo's.
The cost of the dinner will be about $30 and may be paid at the restaurant that evening.
We do need to know how many to expect, so, if you will be attending Ruth’s talks, please contact her, and if you will be joining us for dinner, please contact POINT at any of the addresses below and let us know.

Those attending will be responsible for their own transportation, lodging and other meals.

This gathering will not be on the grand scale of previous POINT National Conferences, but it will give us all a chance to get together again in the city that has become the focus of genealogy in the United States.
