The Opening Session this morning featured Patricia van Skaik's fascinating presentation about the 1848 Cincinnati Panorama, award winners (to be announced on the NGS blog), door-prize drawings, and announcements of future NGS conference locations:
7-10 May 2014, Richmond, Virginia
13-16 May 2015, St. Charles, Missouri
At the end of the session the Germania Jagdhorn Blaesergruppe, five horn musicians of the Germania Society clad in traditional outfits, played German marches while leading the audience down to the opening of the Exhibit Hall.
There was plenty of time to browse and shop in the Exhibit Hall - loaded with everything a genealogist could want - before the first session started at 11:00 a.m.
The three session time-slots offered thirty opportunities to learn from experts about BCG skillbuilding, methodology and research, working with records, military records, photos, ethnic research, migration, writing, and GenTech.
At the end of the day, over 200 attendees visited the Cincinnati History Museum, had dinner, and heard a presentation about the history of the beautiful Art Deco Union Terminal Railroad Station building that is now home to three museums.
On Thursday, don't forget the free extended hours at both the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County and the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. For information and directions, check the information desk in front of Registration, or ask anyone wearing an "Ask Me" button.
