I spoke to the Palm Springs Genealogical Society today. We had a great time. This is a fun group and they are getting ready for their first seminar at the end of this month. They will be hosting Colleen Fitzpatrick. Colleen has info about the seminar on her home page at http://www.forensicgenealogy.info/. I will be posting the flyer here soon.
