Stephen P. Morse, PhD: Conference Banquet Speaker
Steve Morse is an amateur genealogist who has been researching his Russian-Jewish origins. Several years ago he developed some web-based searching aids which, much to his surprise, have attracted attention worldwide. He has received both the Outstanding Contribution Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies, the Award of Merit from the National Genealogical Society, and the first ever Excellence Award from the Association of Professional Genealogists.
In his other life Morse is a computer professional with a doctorate degree in electrical engineering from New York University. He has held research positions at Bell Labs, IBM Watson Research, GE Corporate R&D, and Compagnie Internationale pour l’Informatique in France. He has been involved in development at Intel Corp, Alsys Inc, and Netscape. He has taught at CCNY, Pratt Institute, UC Berkeley, SUNY Albany, Stanford University, and San Francisco State. He has authored numerous technical papers, written four textbooks, and holds four patents. He is best known as the architect of the Intel 8086 (the granddaddy of today’s pentium processor), which sparked the PC revolution 25 years ago.
The United Polish Genealogical Societies Conference will be held Friday, April 18 through Monday, April 21, 2008 at the Best Western Salt Lake Plaza Hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah. The tentative schedule has been posted. The final schedule will be posted when available. Registration is now open online and by mail.

Hi Dr. Steve,
I have been trying to reach conference speaker Kasia Grycza for about a month with no success. Do you know of a way to reach her other than her Polish email? Perhaps a telephone number?
Alternately, a contact at the conference committee that I could contact?
Thanks for any help,

Dear Steve,
Congratulations for your fine achievements.
I wonder if you would welcome some assistance/cooperation in Jewish genealogy from Slovenia or exYu.
Slovenia /ex Yu enjoyed significant Jewish population a few centuries ago, but in ensung centennia and in particular during WW2 under Nazism suffered terribly. After WW2, surviving Jewish intellectuals greatly contributed to the political and economic development of this region, though in recent two retro decades since separation of Slovenia socialist reconstruction of the war devastated Yugoslavia has been uncritically and unjustifiably smeared.
And when you find yourself near Venice note that I am just two hours by car qaway. I’d be very pleased to meet with you.
Best wishes from
Marjan
Hi Steve,
You were very helpful to me several months ago…finding Tilden friends. I lost the link and, also, your e-mail address.
I’d greatly appreciate your help, again…at e-mail address listed above.
Thanks very much!
