Here’s a great way to have fun from home and maybe win something you really want. I hope you’ll tell all your members, family and friends about it.

The Southern California Genealogical Society’s Jamboree is offering two FREE events for at-distance participants: JamboFree, two-days of educational opportunities, and the free Exhibit Hall full of Show Specials and Prize Drawings.

JamboFree – Free Education for All offers two days of activities, Monday, Jun 7 and Wednesday June 9. We hope you’ll join us. Here’s the schedule https://genealogyjamboree.com/jambofree-2021/

Virtual Exhibit Hall – The Hall opens Friday, June 4 at 9 am (PDT) and closes Sunday, June 13 at 12 midnight (PDT). That means the Jamboree Exhibitors are offering your favorite products and services at amazing discounts 24 hours a day for 10 days!

Plus, every Jamboree Exhibitor is offering a Prize Drawing. You can enter to win database subscription services, research assistance, DNA testing and interpretation, software and more. Enter at the SCGS booth for a chance to win the Conference Grand Prize – a 7-night stay at the Plaza Hotel in Salt Lake City.

Not enough? How about FREE access to selected Ancestry products for 10-days of the conference?

To join the fun at either event, you will need a FREE SCGS account (think of it like putting on your name badge). Here’s the link to open an SCGS account: https://next.scgsgenealogy.com/
