Featuring nationally known speakers Jim and Paula Stewart Warren, the Illinois State Genealogical Society presents its Fall Conference. Jim and Paula will present lectures entitled "Railroad Records and Railroad History: Methods for Tracking"; "Ancestors Hanging on Your Family Tree"; "20th-century Research"; "Did You Marry Me for My Family History?"; and "The WPA Era: What It Created for Genealogists."
