We began this quarter with a meeting on April 13th in Worcester, MA where the membership had the opportunity to have a roundtable discussion of marketing ideas. Members shared their marketing ideas and experiences. The format and content was well received by all.

The Tom Jones DVD duplication has been completed and all preorders have been fulfilled. All new orders are now being processed, if you wish to purchase this 2 lecture DVD, you can do so by downloading the order form from the NEAPG website.

About one quarter of the NEAPG membership made their way to the NGS 2010 Family History Conference in Salt Lake City.

The NEAPG Membership has increased to an all time high of 72. We look forward to meeting all our new members at upcoming meetings and events.

Our next meeting will be held on June 27th at the American-Canadian Genealogical Society in Manchester, NH. After the meeting, members will get a tour of the facility will have the opportunity to research their Canadian ancestry.

Elissa Scalise Powell will provide the membership with a presentation on July 11th at the American-French Genealogical Society in Woonsocket, RI.

The NEAPG website now includes a RSS reader which features snippets of our members latest blogs. Other features added are; a link to member websites with a hit counter, links to other APG Chapter websites and a "Share with Facebook" feature.

In the works is a calendar that will export the NEAPG event schedule and allow the user the ability to import into iCal, Google Calendar or Outlook. At the same time it will import calendars from other organizations that export their calendars. Members will have the ability to post their speaking schedules on the calendar, if they so desire.

Maine Bill LD 1781: Will it affect your research? PDF Print E-mail

Articles by Helen A. Shaw, CGsm for the Spring (vol. 7 no. 2) issue, Old Broad Bay Family History Association Newsletter.


LD 1781: An Act to Allow Electronic Filing of Vital Records and Closing Records To Guard Against Fraud and Make Other Changes to the Vital Records Laws. On March 31 LD 1781 was passed by the state legislature as amended. The Health and Human Services Committee was the committee of review for the bill and amended it per input from persons present at a March 3rd public hearing in Augusta. However, this poorly named bill had no input from genealogists during the public hearing simply because no genealogist even knew the bill existed, much less that a public hearing was in the offing.

A Long Look Back at 2009 PDF Print E-mail

I don't know about you, but in my world, time flies by at an extremely alarming pace! It becomes vividly obvious to me when sending out Christmas cards. You can feel like you've known someone for a very long time and when you find they are not on your holiday card list you realize you've only known them for less than a year! That's how I feel about my NEAPG peeps!

The New England Chapter of APG (NEAPG) has had an extremely busy beginning to 2010. Its new Officers & Committee Chairs were immediately put to the test.

In January the annual Post Holiday Party was held at the home of Melinde Lutz Sanborn with a Pot Luck that included every possible kind of food you could imagine. Many deals were to be had by those that took the opportunity to purchase some used genealogical books that were available. As eating subsided, the Yankee Swap began with many genealogical gifts being "stolen". The NEAPG membership then presented Laura Prescott with congratulations gifts of a gavel charm with bracelet, wine & flowers for becoming President of APG. With bellies full and friendships strengthened, we all left with our genealogical gifts ready for 2010.
