GENEALOGY
ROADSHOW IN HOUSTON!
Genealogy Roadshow (GR) is coming to Houston, Texas,
Sunday, November 22, 2015
The venue for the event is the historic
Julia Ideson Library, 500 McKinney Avenue, Downtown Houston
which is adjacent to the newer, modern Houston Public Central Library
building.
The program will be held from 8 am to 6:30 pm. Josh Taylor,
Kenyatta Berry,
Mary Tedesco, the PBS Network and the show’s producers invite all to
participate in the Genealogy Roadshow. Please come to
the show and come asking questions about your ancestors. For those who
are chosen by the Genealogy Roadshow team to appear on camera, it will
be the opportunity of a lifetime.
GR wants Local & National Genealogical Associations, Societies,
Genealogy Vendors and Local Genealogists to be part of their show by
exhibiting your products and services. Come and get your message out to
the public! GR is offering a FREE table and space along with immeasurable
exposure! The taping also provide you with a unique opportunity to
expand your database and increase your clientele for your
organizations. For those who want to be a vendor, volunteers for
staffing the tables may work in shifts but a volunteer must be at their
tables at ALL times. Set up is at 8:00 AM and close at 6:30 PM or until
taping is finished. Space is limited so reserve your spot now. Bring
with you any products for sale or display books, software, online
services, or promotional information. To reserve a table, please
contact Lisa Hope at Lisabhope@yahoo.com or call 323-839-6387 ASAP.
Season 3 of PBS’ GENEALOGY ROADSHOW will
premiere nationally in summer of 2016. GENEALOGY ROADSHOW is part
detective story, and part emotional journey. After participants are
chosen, genealogy, history and DNA experts will use family heirlooms,
letters, pictures, historical documents and other clues to hunt down
more information. These answers will be revealed on camera before a
local audience, in a historic building relevant to each city.
Since August 2014 Randy Pace, Director, Public Relations, CLF has spearheaded
an awareness campaign to bring GR to Houston and to encourage area
genealogists to submit their stories and mysteries to the program.
And
at last, Genealogy Roadshow is coming to HOUSTON! Clayton Library Friends
is looking forward to seeing you at the show and welcomes ALL to
participate and is looking forward to seeing you at the program in Houston, Texas! If you have questions, please call Randy Pace at 713 869-1528 or
if you want to volunteer for the event as the GR team needs assistance,
