After the usual announcements, George and Drew share items from the listener mailbag.  The Frappr map of Genealogy Guys Podcast listeners now shows a pin in South Dakota (only two more states to go!).  Listeners suggest tips on using portable software applications that can be carried from computer to computer on a flash drive and on backing data files up to the Mozy website (mozy.com).  Drew plays his interview with Liz Kerstens where they talk about the latest version of her genealogy filing program Clooz 2.0 (www.clooz.com).  Finally, George and Drew talk about how they file their physical genealogy documents.  

George and Drew notify listeners about the deadline for early FGS conference registration (www.fgs.org), the new Canadian and Scottish resources at Ancestry.com, and the July 15-22, 2007 research trip to London with the Genealogy Guys (limited to 40 people).  The mailbag brings tips about using Google Notebook (www.google.com/notebook) to keep track of bookmarks wherever you are, and a reminder about the genealogy cruise on Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas.   Drew shares his fun interview with Elissa Scalise Powell, highlighting the recent NGS conference, the first statewide Pennsylvania Genealogy Conference (September 29-30) in Pittsburgh (www.pagenealogyconference.com), the July 14-15 Roots in the Boot Italian genealogical conference also in Pittsburgh (www.rootsintheboot.org), the joys of networking at conferences, the great BCG-related lectures at NGS, the dos and don'ts of writing family histories, and the not-to-be-missed educational opportunities at the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research held every June at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama.  George discusses what he has discovered about his ancestors in microfilmed agricultural censuses.

George and Drew return from the annual conference of the National Genealogical Society.  Roots in the Boot (an upcoming mid-July Italian Genealogy and Heritage Conference in Pittsburgh) is announced (www.rootsintheboot.org).  Reading the mailbag, George and Drew clarify some issues relating to ProQuest's HeritageQuest Online product (as it relates to remote access for genealogical and historical societies), bring up concerns about the closing of the Sullivan County (NY) Historical Society/Museum, and discuss affidavits as they relate to birth and marriage certificates.  Podcast listeners will find out if Drew was successful in completing his 5-item to-do list for the NGS conference.  George talks about the vendors (especially the ones selling books).

Just prior to their trip to Chicago for the National Genalogical Society conference (www.ngsgenealogy.org), George tells Drew about the great time he had at the Ontario (Canada) Genealogical Society conference, and George reviews the book Genealogy, Geography, and Maps (written by Althea Douglas and available from www.ogs.on.ca).  George also reviews Frank Smith's A Genealogical Gazetteer of England, published by Genealogical Publishing Co. (www.genealogical.com).  Next is one more reminder of the 2006 Genealogy Seminar at Sea (www.genealogycruise2006.com), and news about new Canadian data at MyFamily.com's new Canadian site (ancestry.ca).  Drew talks about searching for genealogy data using Ask.com's new blog search tool (www.ask.com), compares The Red Book to The Source, and clarifies the distinction between original/derivative documents, primary/secondary information, and direct/indirect evidence.
