But keep in mind that there might be a lot of people so things could be a little hectic. Also, two of the speakers are George Schweitzer form Knoxville, TN and Dr. Deborah Abbott, from Cleveland, Ohio. JP John P.

I am under the impression it will be free the day of the seminar and will definitely be free on Oct 7 when we have a meeting there.

However, I was warned that this is not the case by one of the Burton patrons. I checked the DPL website and found the following statement: PLEASE NOTE: As part of the Family History Festival, the Burton Reading Room will be the site of several presentations and tours. Reference service, therefore, will not be available. The room will be open for public browsing, whenever presentations are not in session. This is posted at http://www.detroit.lib.mi.us/events/graphics/FHF%20Schedule.doc, which is the schedule of events. So be warned that if you planned on going down to the Burton on the 30th, you will not be able to really use it effectively. Logistically, I can understand why they had to make this decision. They just do not have the staffing and it would be hard to host events in the Burton and service people simultaneously. Nevertheless, I understand that this will be a disappointment for some of you.
