Workshop

Register by mail, telephone, or email early to reserve your space. Although this year registration at the door is no higher than early registration, seating is limited and early registration is all inclusive - including an entry for the swag bag. Early Saturday registrants receive their tickets by mail or email which will allow them to enjoy lunch-included, as well as guaranteeing a source book and welcome bag. Saturday Admission at the door, if available, doesn't include lunch and goodie bags and source books will only be available while they last. Saturday Admission at the door does not include an opportunity at the swag bag - only early registrants get this value added chance. Our speaker will also have a Great Goodie Bag that only early registrants are eligible to win. In addition to the "main event" Saturday, we encourage everyone pre-registered to join us for dinner on Friday night. After dinner, each pre-registered attendee is encouraged to present a problem they are having in their research. Mary Douglass, CG will then trouble shoot it. This opportunity is available by early registration only. Additionally, several door prizes will be awarded to those in general attendance from Gregath on Saturday. Our keynote speaker will bring a few publications for sale. Gregath may set up to allow for shopping, but there will be catalogs and other shopping opportunities in everyone's welcome/goodie bag. Early registration may be sent at any time. However, if the USPS doesn't deliver it in time, you'll need to pay at the door, and you'll be an "at door" attendee.

All genealogists at this 2008 Gregath event have the opportunity to reserve their space at the 2009 retreat at only $155.00. This is a special $20.00 savings over the lowest package being offered.

Introduction to Land Records If you had access to a group of records that gave you more genealogical information than the federal census, gave you the migration paths of your ancestors, and gave you the maiden, as well as the married, names of
your female ancestors, would you use it? Learn how to use one of the most efficient and effective resources for genealogical study - land records.
Read That Deed For All Its Worth Are you using ALL the clues found in a deed, mortgage, lease, and other individual land transfers?
