At 10 am, we all (145 of us) assembled on the majestic staircase of our ship’s main dining room for a group picture. Below is a picture of the proof, since I don’t have my scanner here with me. Unfortunately, I came from the 4th floor and got caught up at the top of the stairs on the left for the picture, and couldn’t get into a better spot.

At 1 pm, I gave my talk about “Using Life Events and Ages to Solve Genealogical Information”.
At 2 pm, Diane Foster, the only other Canadian in our group, presented “Genealogy and Family History, What is the Difference?”
At 4 pm, I gave my 6th presentation: “Warning! Data won’t transfer: GEDCOM Transfers.”
