One of genealogy's most well-known and favorite speakers, Megan Smolenyak, will be this Wednesday's webinar speaker. I have watched Megan present this session in person and I am certain you will enjoy it as much as I did. Be sure to arrive early (20-30 minutes) to ensure your virtual seat, as only the first 1,000 to join will be able to participate in the live session.
*Webinar Description* **An Irish lass, Annie Moore, tripped down a gangplank and into the pages of history in 1892 when she became the first immigrant to arrive at Ellis Island. But less than a century later, an Illinois-born Annie Moore had somehow taken her place and was celebrated in song, statue and literature. That all ended when some stubborn genealogists decided to use their sleuthing skills to seek out the right Annie. Join us to learn how she and her true descendants reclaimed their rightful place in history when their reunion was featured on the front page of the New York Times<http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/14/nyregion/14annie.html?ex=1171429200&en=0b1e749c5e32470e&ei=5070> .
