We're off to Burbank, California for one of the nation's largest genealogy conferences this weekend – the Southern California Genealogical Jamboree. If you're in the area, or even if you're not, I hope you'll join us there.
I'll enjoy a couple of firsts at Jamboree:
Kids Camp. First, my soon-to-be 12-year-old son will join me for his first-ever genealogy conference. He's hoping to pass off his genealogy merit badge at the Kid's Camp. If you stop by our booth ask him about Legacy – I'll try to have him prepped.
Book Signings. Second, I will participate in my first-ever book signing. So bring along your copy of The Official Unofficial Guide to Using Legacy Family Tree or pick one up at our booth (best time to get it – no shipping costs!). Fortunately, I'll also be with Megan Smolenyak who will show me the ropes and also be signing her books:
- Hey, America, Your Roots Are Showing
- Who Do You Think You Are: The Essential Guide to Tracing Your Family History
Genealogy Idol – attend in Burbank or from your home
The second-ever Genealogy Idol competition and webinar is open to anyone. If you want breakfast, get your tickets and show up at 7:30am in the Convention Center Acadamy 6. If you just want to attend the live show, no breakfast ticket is required, but it will start promptly at 8:00am. If you want to attend from home, register for its webinar at https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/327018046.
