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 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260926T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260926T170000 DTSTAMP:20260902T013048Z CREATED:20260902T012615Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260902T013048Z UID:4548-1790416800-1790442000@www.longislandauthors.com SUMMARY:51st Annual Forest Park Fair DESCRIPTION:Find me in the Health & Wellness Pavilion Section.
