A Special Thank You from SCGS Jamboree!

The Jamboree Committee would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the Genetic Genealogy, and Genealogy Jamboree 2022 Virtual conferences. 

Thank you, Attendees! 
You are what makes the conference both exceptional and memorable. Without you, there wouldn't be a Jamboree. Whether you viewed us from near or far through the wonders of technology, Thank You!

Thank you, Speakers! 
For generously sharing your knowledge, research experiences and tips, your time, and your sense of humor. You continuously lead by example and inspire genealogists of all experience levels to learn more, expand our vision of what family history research is and should be, all the while reminding us to be open to all possibilities in life and in research. Speakers, Thank You!

Thank you, Exhibitors!
For showcasing the products and services that make research so rewarding, for preserving records and making them accessible online, and for the books that we just can't give up even in the digital age. For the societies that give us opportunities to learn, share and meet others who share our passion for family history. Exhibitors, Thank You!

Thank you, Sponsors!
For your generous support of Jamboree. We are very grateful for the support of all of our sponsors. Jamboree extends special thanks to MyHeritage, our main sponsor, for sponsoring Closed Captioning. 

Finally, and most importantly, thank you to all the Jamboree Volunteers!
It takes hundreds and hundreds of hours of volunteer time to produce Jamboree each year. Some volunteers work year-round to plan the events, and others work an hour or two before or at the conference. Every hour magically contributes to making Jamboree special for everyone. 

Sincerely,
The SCGS Board of Directors 
& the 2022 Jamboree Committee

Southern California Genealogical Society

Preserving Your Family Tales Is Here!

 

Everyone should be preserving their family history for future generations.

This was a fun opportunity to keep our ancestors' memories alive, while getting the chance to become published!

Eighty stories were accepted for inclusion into our new book, Preserving Your Family Tales.  Thank you to all the authors who submitted a story!

There are stories from many different cultures and backgrounds. There are anywhere from happy stories to sad stories. Each story is unique, and each piece is very meaningful for each author.

 Come read about the triumphs and hardships of ancestors just like yours!

The book will be available through Amazon, sometime before the start of the Jamboree, which starts on August 19, 2022.

Enjoy!

 

Purchase Preserving Your Family Tales on Amazon for only $16.99
