Scenes from Day 1 at the FGS Convention

Here are a few scenes from the Exhibit Hall at the FGS Convention in Knoxville. At the top is a collection of a dozen GeneaBloggers who met near the booth of the Illinois State Genealogical Society. Notice how we all magically lined up on either wide of Mr. Genea-Hospitality himself, Mr. Thomas MacEntee. It was wonderful to meet fellow genealogy bloggers! Today I attended three presentations, all outstanding, that I'll write about later, but now it's almost time to board the bus for the FGS banquet, "An Evening in Old Appalachia."
