    Your blog is great, it enables those of us who aren't at the conference to know what's going on.

    Best wishes

    Schelly:

    I found out about your new genealogy venture at the Conference in New York. This will surely be an exciting and rewarding activity for all Jewish Family Historians. I had to check it out as soon as I got home.

    Best wishes and great success in this venture.
