I really enjoyed taking part in a genealogy conference today in Maryland. Genealogist Donna Tyler Hollie spoke on the importance of using government census records when doing family research. It is amazing how much information can be found if you know what to look for in these documents.

I’ve just returned from attending the Ghotes Genealogy Conference in Accomack, Virginia. I must say that it exceeded all of my expectations. The list of speakers were a who’s who of Eastern Shore history and genealogy. They all did a wonderful job, and their passion was contagious!

It was also nice to be able to spend a few days with the other attendees who have a love for genealogy, as I do. New friendships were created, and I look forward to continued communication with a number of folks, there. If you have a chance to attend a future conference, I highly recommend it!

William and Elizabeth Nock arrived in America as indentured servants, and experienced some of the brutality chronicled in this database after arriving on the Eastern Shore of Virginia(accomack county).
