"Unlocking Your Past 2005"
Free family history community event

We are trying to spread the word about an upcoming event in March which is being held in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania. The event is called "Unlocking Your Past 2005." Anyone who is interested in genealogy or family history is welcome to come, particularly those whose may have roots in Franklin, Fulton or Adams Counties in Pennsylvania, or Washington County, Maryland. For detailed information, visit our website:

In March 2003, the first "Unlocking Your Past" free family history community event opened to the public, and more than 300 visitors came to view the exhibits, hear the speakers, attend classes and get individual help researching their family history.

The event received considerable attention in area newspapers, and live coverage on, WHAG, the local NBC affiliate TV station. Several visitors drove hundreds of miles and stayed in local motels to attend, and just about everyong, said they enjoyed the experience and had a great time.

After the success of the first "Unlocking Your Past", the decision was made to try and make it a semi-annual affair. Accordingly, we proudly announce "Unlocking Your Past 2005" our second semi-annual event, which as before, is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, and completely FREE!

This year, the event is being extended from three to four days in length. The scheduled dates are: Wednesday through Saturday, March 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th. We believe many lessons learned from hosting the first event will help us make "Unlocking Your Past 2005" even better.

For example, in 2003 there was overwhelming demand for individual help learning to use computers and the Internet for genealogy research. To better accommodate this demand, we have had broad-band Internet service installed. Make plans today to attend "Unlocking Your Past 2005." Schedule a day or two off work and get ready to share a memorable experience. We'll see you there!
