Linda and I are leaving today driving up to Burbank for the SCGS Genealogy Jamboree. I hope to meet many of my readers there - please introduce yourself to me if you see me! I look forward to meeting many people whose blogs and comments I read online and connecting a personality to the faces and words.
Let's see - do I have everything? Laptop and charger, digital camera and USB connection, cell phone and charger, extra batteries, flash drive, genealogy T-shirts, sense of humor, and all that other stuff... check! Note to self - check the critical attitude at the door - be humble, friendly, funny...
The hotel web site says that they have free wireless Internet connections - I hope so, or else Genea-Musings, and the other blogs in my farflung but little-read blogpile, will be mute for the weekend. At the convention center, Dick Eastman may host a wireless Internet connection. My hope is that I can post a blog soon after each presentation I attend, and I hope to have pictures of people and exhibits 'almost live" from the Jamboree.
In addition to the Genealogy Blogger Summit that I'm participating in at 10 a.m. on Saturday, I hope to attend the following presentations:
* Friday, 1:30 p.m. - American Church Records by Arlene Eakle
* Friday, 3:00 p.m. - The Mistakes We Make by Carl Boyer III
* Saturday, 10 a.m. - Genealogy Blogger Summit
* Saturday, 1:30 p.m. - Automatic Research Assistants by Beau Sharbrough
* Saturday, 3:00 p.m. - Hookers, Crooks and Kooks by Jana Sloan Broglin
* Saturday, 4:30 p.m. - Beyond Y-DNA by Megan Smolenyak
* Sunday, 9:30 a.m. - But It's My Family! by Cath Trindle
* Sunday, 11 a.m. - You Will Never Look at Your Old Photographs the Same Way Again by Colleen Fitzpatrick
* Sunday, 1:30 p.m. - Genealogical Organization in the 21st Century by Leland Meitzler
I'm not sure I can last beyond about 3 p.m. on Sunday. Hopefully, the syllabus will provide sufficient outline information for the sessions I will miss.
We will drive to Victorville on Sunday afternoon to see the granddaughters and their parents, and will bring Lolo down to our house on Monday for the week.
Welcome to my genealogy blog. Genea-Musings features genealogy research tips and techniques, genealogy news items and commentary, genealogy humor, San Diego genealogy society news, family history research and some family history stories from the keyboard of Randy Seaver (of Chula Vista CA), who thinks that Genealogy Research Is really FUN!
