Registration is now open for the Indiana Genealogical Society's annual conference, set for Saturday, April 28th at the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne. Debra Mieszala, CG will be the featured speaker, with sessions on:

• Lessons From A Snoop: Collaterals and Associates - Crucial information on direct ancestors is often found by nosing into the lives of collateral relatives, associates, and neighbors. Case studies present examples of invaluable finds.
