Due to the high expenses of being a part of a seminar and the fact that those expenses often are not covered by the sales at the seminars, Ye Olde Genealogie Shoppe has been forced to dramatically cut back on the number of seminars and other events we attend. We miss seeing everybody but we simply cannot afford to continue to lose money on most of the seminars.
We thank you for your past support and hope that you will understand the reasons for this decision.
Below is a list of some conferences that you might like to attend in 2009. Either YOGS or John Palmer, who will have a large selection of YOGS material, with attend events marked with an asterisk (*).
