*Morgan, Kraybill will uncover new ways to reach roots*
"New Ways to Reach Our Roots," the 32nd annual Lancaster Family History
Conference, will convene at Doubletree Resort Lancaster/Willow Valley in
Willow Street, Pa., Saturday, April 2, 8:30 AM-4:30 PM.
Genealogist George G. Morgan will bring the keynote address, "New Ways to
Research Our Roots," and sociologist Dr. Donald B. Kraybill will present
"The Amish Way: Patient Faith in a Perilous World" from his new book by the
same title.
The conference will offer sixteen seminars with topics ranging from
"Thinking about DNA?" and "What's New on Mormon Websites?" to
"Don't Forget
the Ladies: Finding and Identifying the Women in Your Past."
Morgan and Kraybill will each lead multiple seminars, including "Genealogy
Orienteering-Using Maps to Find the Right Place" (Morgan) and "From the
Buggy to the Byte: How the Amish Tame Technology" (Kraybill).
More than a dozen vendors will sell genealogical resources.
In addition, six field trips are planned for the Thursday and Friday before
the conference, including two tours of Underground Railroad sites in
Lancaster and Chester Counties and a visit to "Modern Amish-Owned Businesses
Without Electricity" with lunch in an Amish home.
George G. Morgan is president of Aha! Seminars, Inc., a Tampa Bay-based
company that trains genealogists and library personnel. He has authored
eight genealogy books, including the award-winning *How to Do Everything:
Genealogy* and *The Official Guide to Ancestry.com*, both in their second
editions.
Dr. Donald B. Kraybill is a distinguished professor and senior fellow at the
Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College,
Pa., where he served as director from 1989 to 1996. He is nationally
recognized for his scholarship on Anabaptist groups and is author or editor
of more than 25 books including the *Concise Encyclopedia of Amish,
Brethren, Hutterites and Mennonites*, published by Johns Hopkins University
Press last year.
