Coming up at Allen County Public Library

If just researching there isn't enough of a draw, three upcoming multiple-day programs may just entice you to Fort Wayne:

22-23 May, Climbing Your DNA (PDF) with Roberta Estes

18-20 June, 2009 National Palatines to America Conference

29-31 October, International Black Genealogy Summit: Reconnecting Lost Links

International Black Genealogy Summit in Fort Wayne

Jennifer of the blog "But Now I'm Found: Genealogy Blog in Black and White" reports that the Allen County Public Library will host an international black genealogy summit October 29-31, said to be "the first time that all of the black historical and genealogical societies in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean will come together." Full info at the second link.

I see that in June the library will be hosting another major conference, the Palatines to America German Speaking Ancestry Conference.
