Thomas Jones to Speak in Menlo Park

Save the date!

If you have not heard Thomas Jones speak, you must not miss this opportunity.  If you have heard Thomas Jones speak, you must not miss another opportunity.  He'll be just over two hours from downtown Sacramento.  I had no idea who he was a couple years ago when I attended one of his sessions at a conference because the description of the class piqued my interest. Wow, what a rewarding experience!  His presentation was chock-full of thought-provoking problem-solving methods and solutions.  I have since learned that he is a renown genealogical speaker and accomplished researcher.

Here's the scoop:
