Thanks to huge support from Ancestry, the Southern California Genealogical Society will live stream 12 presentations for free delivered at its 50th annual Genealogy Jamboree conference, from Friday, May 31 to Sunday, June 2.
Two of the presentations on Saturday are specific to Canadian research: one is about the Canadiana website, and it will be delivered by Canada’s own Dave Obee, and another one is about ancestors who called both Canada and the US home, presented by Annette Burke Lyttle.
Syllabus material will be available for all presentations
