From the Hamilton County Genealogical Society's quarterly, we heard about this unusual
symposium, and if you have Scotch-Irish roots, it's something you really should attend - the
Scottish Family History Symposium, on Friday, June 1, 2001, at the LaQuinta Conference Center in
Arlington, Texas.
The theme of this year's symposium is "The Celtic South" presented by Lloyd Bockstruck and
Grady McWhiney. The symposium will concentrate on the historical background, unique cultural
characteristics, migration patterns and genealogical research of the Celts.
Lloyd Bockstruck, supervisor of the genealogy section at the Dallas Public Library, is believed to
be one of the world's foremost genealogists. He has spoken at numerous conferences across the
country, including the annual meetings of the Federation of Genealogical Societies and the National
Genealogical Society.
Grady McWhiney is considered the leading authority on Celtic culture of the South. Dr.
McWhiney is the author of many historical books including the provocative and widely acclaimed
Craker Culture: Celtic Ways in the Old South. His Ph.D. is from Columbia University and he has
served as professor of history at the University of British Columbia and Texas Christian University.
