Once again Anne Miller provided a informative program with several excellent examples. She warned us to analyze documents carefully. She discussed several different immigrant ancestor record types which could be used to find an elusive ancestor. She also mentioned researching collateral lines to solve those brick walls.
She mentioned a special seminar she will be giving at Jamboree. See her website at http://www.AJMresearch.com
Also, our special events chair mentioned the upcoming Spring Seminar: Family Tree DNA and You, which will be presented on Saturday march 27 2010 at the Carlsbad Senior Center on 799 Pine Street in Carlsbad, California. The cost for this seminar is $25.00 for members and $30.00 for non members. Currently we have about eighty people that have signed up to go to this seminar. Lunch includes a turkey sandwich, salad and drink. Family Tree DNA will be presenting the Spring Seminar and topic include: Y-DNA and mtDNA Genealogy and Website Tools; Haplogroups: Deep Ancestry & Migration Patterns, Medical Testing and the Future of Personal DNA Testing and Without a Surname to Follow: What Can You Do? There will be a new type of genetic test announced, so you probably won't want to miss this seminar. Contact ninaanderson@sbcglobal.net to register for this seminar.

Upcoming North San Diego County Genealogy Society Meeting on Friday Feb 9, 2010
The program meeting for February 23, 2010 at the North San Diego Genealogical Society will be presented by Anne Miller at 10:00 am. Her presentation will be "Finding Your Ancestors in the Old Country." in the Carlsbad City Council Chambers located behind the Georgina Cole Library. Anne Miller is a psychologist, professional genealogist and historian. She is currently the Education Director for the Temecula Valley Genealogical Society. Ann Miller is also involved with an orphaned photo and bible project.
During a previous meeting on November 10th, 2009. Anne Miller and David Armstrong gave an excellent presentation on using Google maps for genealogy research. They gave an excellent presentation and made something that is rather complex easy to understand. I am sure Ann will give an informative presentation at the meeting tomorrow with the same high caliber instruction she provided in her last presentation in November 2009.
