Want to get a head start on Jamboree? We've got you covered!
Jamboree 2016 is offering six specialized in-depth workshops on Thursday, June 2nd, just for you!
You'll leave the workshop with something concrete - a new language skill, confidence exploring records, a research strategy, or the beginnings of a written masterpiece.
Here's a hint: Register early! Seats are limited.
Early Bird discounts end April 23!
Please note that these workshops are scheduled to occur during the Genetic Genealogy Conference, are limited in capacity, and do require additional registration fees. The subjects are of general interest to genealogists and family historians and are not focused on DNA. If you are attending the Genetic Genealogy conference, these workshops will run concurrent to some of the scheduled DNA sessions, so please plan accordingly.
