SCGS Genealogy Jamboree Plans - Saturday Events

My plans for the Southern California Genealogical Society 2017 Genealogy Jamboree in Burbank, California have crystallized now, so here are our plans for Saturday, 10 June:

The Saturday schedule is at 
http://www.genealogyjamboree.com/2017/schedule-saturday.html.

I hope to participate in these events:

*  8:30 a.m.:  SA009 Descendancy Research: Another Pathway to Genealogy

*  10:00 a.m.:  SA018 Wives, Girlfriends, Widows, Exes and Mistresses: Documenting Women

*  2 p.m.:  SA036 Your Ancestor's FAN Club: Using Cluster Research
Our ancestors were each surrounded by family, associates, and neighbors. By researching them, we discover additional records pointing to our own ancestors. Level: Int. (Drew Smith, MLS)

*  3:30 p.m.:  SA038 “She Came from Nowhere…” A Case Study Approach to a Complex Genealogical Problem.  This lecture illustrates a problem-solving approach utilizing social history, female research and family analysis to identify the parents of Elizabeth Stith, the ancestor “from nowhere.” See the Genealogical Proof Standard at work! Level: Int., Adv. (Michael D. Lacopo, DVM)

*  5 p.m.:  SA046 7 Awesome Apps That Will Help You Captivate Non-Genealogists

*  6 p.m.:  Probably dinner out with friends in beautiful downtown Burbank.

*  8 p.m. and on:  Blogging and/or discussion, in the Blogger Lounge.

Of course, I will flit in and out of the Exhibit Hall between classes, and may even skip a class session or two during the day to have extended discussions with exhibitors in the Exhibit Hall.  I want to take photographs for the blog, too.  Um, and I will probably take a nap during the day - either in a class or in a quiet place.  At some point during the weekend, I want to visit the Research Assistance area to see what an expert will tell me about breaking down my brick walls.
