 29th Annual Meeting of TFA - September 25-27, 2009 - Portsmouth, New Hampshire The 29h Annual Meeting was held at the Best Western Wynwood Hotel and Suites in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on September 25, 26, and 27, 2009. Forty-nine people from around the country attended. The weather was great, and lots of time was spent in planned workshops and socializing with cousins. Read all about it in the December issue of About Towne. Plans are already underway for next year's 30th Reunion Celebration at the Merritt Hotel in Omaha, Nebraska. Meeting chairperson, Anita Carson, is bubbling over with ideas to make this a meeting to remember. A note from Anita: I am excited to be hosting the event next year. I have been a member of TFA since 1982 and am a descendant of William & Joanna's son, Jacob. One of the meeting sessions will be "Meet the Genealogists" so bring any questions or roadblocks you may have and they will try to help you find the answers. Also, in 2010, we will have a Spouses Tour for those spouses who do not care to sit in on a meeting. Mark your calendars and plan for September 23-25, 2010 and plan to come to Omaha! Check back here periodically for updates and read details as they are arranged in About Towne.
