Over 400 conference attendees took advantage of the extended hours at the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County on Thursday night. The first 200 people received 1848 Cincinnati Panorama posters donated by the Friends of the Public Library Shop, and everyone had a chance to see the original Panorama and experiment with the touchscreen display.
Although tables and aisles were crowded, the energy of 400 genealogists researching at once was almost tangible! Many people stayed until 11:30 p.m. and then showed up early for the first session at 8:00 a.m. on Friday. Many thanks to the Library for providing refreshments, tours, and bringing in additional staff to assist researchers. Another large group of attendees visited the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center during extended hours sponsored by FamilySearch.
