These Well-Known Sponsors Help Make Jamboree Happen!

 

Without Our Sponsors…

This Wouldn't Be Possible!

Even though Jamboree is the largest, “single society” genealogy event for over 50 years, our conference wouldn’t be possible without our sponsors!

Did you know that Jamboree is hosted by the Southern California Genealogical Society and is graciously sponsored by MyHeritage, FamilySearch, FamilyTreeDNA, Ponga, ArkivDigital, LivingDNA, and the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania?

All these companies and genealogical societies are fantastic resources for your DNA and genealogy research, and many will be speaking at Jamboree! Head over to their sites and see what they’re all about, and don’t forget to register for Jamboree to hear them speak, along with all the other fantastic and knowledgeable speakers at Jamboree this year!

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 Jamboree 2021 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 Ancestry, our main sponsor, and to MyHeritage, 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

Special Announcement

SCGS Becomes a Partner of the Famous Newport Beach Film Festival

 

The Southern California Genealogical Society’s Genealogy Jamboree turns 50 and the Newport Beach Film Festival is celebrating its 20th year. SCGS is proud to be one of its non-profit partners.

Buy Tickets Here: https://newportbeachfilmfest.com

Two films in particular may be of interest to SCGS members. 

Film 1: You Only Die Twice

Monday April 29, 8.30 pm Theater 

The Lot 3 in Fashion Island, Newport Beach

Yair Lev, an Israeli documentarist, turns to a detective and sets on a personal and historical journey to uncover the true identity of the man who stole his grandfather's identity during WWII. With the help of documents found in archives, letters and family photos revealed suddenly in drawers - objects that time had forgotten - the filmmaker leads this hectic search to unique locations and remarkable people from the two sides of the historical fence with which the enigma is finally solved.

Trailer: https://vimeo.com/278431271

Film 2: Who Will Write Our History? 

Thursday May 2 Lido Theater, Newport Beach

From the filmmakers website https://whowillwriteourhistory.com: 

In November 1940, days after the Nazis sealed 450,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, a secret band of journalists, scholars and community leaders decided to fight back. Led by historian Emanuel Ringelblum and known by the code name Oyneg Shabes, this clandestine group vowed to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda not with guns or fists but with pen and paper. 

Now, for the first time, their story is told as a feature documentary. Written, produced and directed by Roberta Grossman and executive produced by Nancy Spielberg, Who Will Write Our History mixes the writings of the Oyneg Shabes archive with new interviews, rarely seen footage and stunning dramatizations to transport us inside the Ghetto and the lives of these courageous resistance fighters. They defied their murderous enemy with the ultimate weapon–the truth–and risked everything so that their archive would survive the war, even if they did not.

It takes hundreds and hundreds of hours of volunteer time to produce Jamboree each year. Some volunteers work year-round to plan the events, coordinate with speakers, line up the exhibitors and sponsors, coordinate contracts, create graphic art masterpieces, update the Jamboree website, produce the syllabus, and so much more. Others work an hour or two before or at the conference. Every hour magically contributes to making Jamboree special for everyone.
