The Southern California Genealogical Society (SCGS) has announced the 2016 schedule for its free Jamboree Extension Series Webinar series.
The first webinar is The ‘Push’ and ‘Pull’ Decision-Making of the 19th Century Emigrant with Jill Morelli on Saturday, January 2, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern time.
Learn the Px4 approach to understanding the complexity of the ‘push’ and ‘pull’ theory of emigration. Evaluate the motivations of a 19th c. emigrant using this more complex lens.
The SCGS webinars are open to the public. They are offered the first Saturday (1:00 p.m. Eastern time) and third Wednesday (9:00 p.m. Eastern time) of each month. You must register to watch the live presentations. The webinars are archived for SCGS members.
