Free Genealogy Education: Newton County, Texas FRIDAY (TODAY) and SATURDAY

I didn't see any publicity about this online until today when a notice was placed on several Rootsweb mail lists. I hope the planners got the word out in local newspapers so the attendance will be good. If you are in the southeast Texas area this weekend maybe you can fit in one of these sessions. I am sure the speakers will appreciate your attendance.

Newton County (Texas) Genealogy Conference
Friday, September 12 and Saturday, September 13, 2014

Check with the History Center and library (presumably at 213 Court Street, Newton, Texas 75966) for directions to the different venues. No addressees were included with the notice I received, but Newton is a small town and it should not be difficult to find your way around.
