You won’t be bored between sessions. Videos featuring Ancestry’s Crista Cowan, Juliana Szucs, and Ann Mitchell will run during Jamboree breaks and lunches.
Because the sessions are sponsored by Ancestry and available for free, you can host viewing parties with one or two friends, or with a room full of fellow society members.
If you cannot watch a session in real time as it is being live streamed, you will be able to watch it at your convenience before July 5, 2015, from the special Jamboree archive. DNA live-streamed sessions will not be available for purchase on DVD, nor will they be accessible in the SCGS website archive.
You can register here for the live-streamed sessions.
I’ve registered already and excited to learn. The next best thing to being at Jamboree! I really appreciate that the sessions will be archived just incase one cannot watch live. Kudos to the Southern California Genealogical Society!!!
