Afternoon Keynote: 2:00pm
Ultimate Respect. Featuring: David Allen Lambert
MSOG, Inc. is delighted to have David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist, New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS www.americanancestors.org), deliver what will be a riveting keynote presentation. Mr. Lambert will highlight proven genealogical research methods, using examples from his extensive World War I research tied to the United States and Canada as a basis for discussion.
Mr Lambert will be preparing us all to respectfully commemorate the centenary of the war’s end, which is a few days after our 2018 MSOG, Inc. Annual Meeting & Program. He will energetically give us his valuable genealogical insight, sparked at the age of 7 while holding a photo of a WW1 Soldier in his hand from a trunk in his attic. This is the catalyst that brought him eventually to NEHGS, where he has been on staff since 1993.
It's a don't miss opportunity for the membership.
