POINT Workshops 2008

August 18-23, 2008 - Salt Lake City, UT (note change of location and date)

Ruth Merrimann (#4887) will be giving a series of five talks on five different topics related to Italian genealogy, at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, one each morning, from Monday, August 18, 2008, through Friday, August, 22. Ruth will repeat the entire series of five talks on Saturday, August 23, 2008, allowing attendees to arrive any time during the week and still hear all her talks.

There will be the opportunity for POINTers attending this series to have Ruth and other Library staff members pre-arrange to have any films needed pulled from the vaults and ready upon arrival, and to help with the reading and interpretation of any records found. This was a very popular feature of our POINT National Conference in Salt Lake City in 2002.

All of the above will be FREE OF CHARGE! We are planning to have a meeting of POINTers In Person chapter leaders and representatives following Ruth’s talk on Friday morning, and a POINT banquet on Friday evening, at a location yet to be decided.

POINTers will be responsible for their own transportation, lodging and meals.

There will be more information on the cost of the banquet later.
