Following the presentation\, there will be an audience Q&A\, where I’ll answer questions about DNA testing\, genealogy\, Search Angels\, adoption\, writing the memoir\, and the remarkable reunion that changed my life. \nI’ll also be signing and personalizing copies of Finding Mary Smith\, and I’d love the opportunity to meet readers\, fellow genealogists\, adoptees\, NPEs\, and anyone who enjoys an unforgettable true story. \nA heartfelt thank you to Gullivers Bookshop in Wimborne Minster for sponsoring this event and helping bring this story home to the UK. \nAnd one more thing… \nMary will be there.  URL:https://www.longislandauthors.com/event/finding-mary-smith-in-the-uk/ LOCATION:Wimborne Community Centre\, 41-44 King St\, Wimborne\, BH21 1EA\, United Kingdom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.longislandauthors.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Flyer-3.png ORGANIZER;CN="Al Isaacs":MAILTO:iamalisaacs@gmail.com END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
