We are pleased to announce a new feature for conference attendees this year. Follow this link http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/cs/surname_search to a Surname Catalog where you can list surnames you are researching as well as information about the years you have researched each name. You can also show the migration pattern for each surname using a list of state and country abbreviations. The instructions for submitting surname listings are on the “Surname Catalog Entry” page. Since this feature is only available to conference attendees, you must log in to submit surnames.
If everyone who is interested in participating can list their surnames by 20 April 2011, then conference attendees will have time to search the list to see if another conference attendee is researching the same surname. The Surname Catalog provides an e-mail link so you can make contact with the person who listed each surname. NGS is providing this service so conference attendees can exchange information and hopefully meet a new cousin at the conference.
You can only enter surname listings until 4 May 2011. We will keep the surname catalog available to search through the conference. If there is sufficient interest, NGS may expand the Surname Catalog to all NGS members later this summer. We would appreciate your feedback as to the ease of using the catalog as well as any successful connections made.
If you have difficulty accessing the page, contact gkher@ngsgenealogy.org. If you have any feedback on the Surname Catalog, contact conference@ngsgenealogy.org.
