George and Drew discuss the range of technology options available to genealogists (desktop PCs, notebooks, and PDAs); updates to the NARA and Ancestry.com web sites; a new laminated citation guide for online historical resources; and what can be found in census records that can help with tracking immigrant ancestors.

George and Drew talk about their day at the Fall Genealogy Seminar of the Florida Genealogical Society (Tampa); how to find and download podcasts; a few tips about keeping track of papers, e-mail, and unmatched relatives; and a whole lot about cemetery research.

In this podcast, George and Drew discuss their recent trip to Salt Lake City, where they attended the annual conference of the Federation of Genealogical Societies, and got to do research in the world-famous Family History Library. Drew interviews Bruce Buzbee and finds out about the brand-new RootsMagic 3.0. [Note from Drew: I've uploaded a new version of this podcast with better sound quality during the interview portion.]

George and Drew discuss podcasts, preparing for genealogy conferences and what to do when you get there, plans to attend the annual conference of the Federation of Genealogical Societies in Salt Lake City, and digital voice recorders.
