When I first became a speaker in genealogy, most conferences and seminars were held in the Spring and in the Fall. \u00a0The summer months were “dark.” \u00a0No meetings were held. \u00a0Too much other stuff was going on–kids out of school, summer sports and crafts programs, family vacations, lawn care, activities all week long.<\/p>\n
Now I have genealogy conferences and the Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree from June through September. \u00a0At least one every month. And two in the month of June.<\/p>\n
Summer months are no longer “dark.” \u00a0Go figure.<\/p>\n
My topics at the Jamboree include:<\/p>\n
I am preparing extra handouts and checklists of records that will help you find your ancestors who lived in cities. \u00a0If you have not registered for the Southern California Jamboree yet, I recommend that you do so at once.<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.scgsgenealogy.com<\/a> June 26, 27, 28, 2009: \u00a0Friday, \u00a0Saturday, Sunday. \u00a0 This is the 40th year. \u00a0And I was reminiscing a bit about the first time I spoke there on Virginia Research–the room was designed to hold 150 people and over 700 crammed the room, the hall, the stairs (it was upstairs–with no air-conditioning–in Glendale CA–in April). \u00a0I was the only speaker in that time slot. \u00a0I laughed all the way home to Utah.<\/p>\n Now multiple classes are held at the same time in large, air-conditioned hotel ballrooms at the Airport Marriott, in Burbank. \u00a0And I expect to laugh all the way home to Utah about the discoveries I will make.<\/p>\n You really should come. \u00a0At conferences you get the newest research<\/strong> strategies.<\/strong> The latest genealogy techniques<\/strong> and examples of records<\/strong> you may never have heard of, let alone searched.<\/p>\n Everyone that will listen is held captive by eager genealogists anxious to share their newest find.<\/p>\n I never go away without new stuff and new insight and new ideas of how to solve tough problems. \u00a0So I invite you to attend and learn something you didn’t know on Friday. \u00a0Your favorite genealogist, Arlene Eakle http:\/\/www.arleneeakle.com<\/p>\n PS \u00a0Check out my new Home Page that Kathryn has posted on my website. And remember that it is under construction–all the pages will be re-done in the next weeks with easier navigation and new stuff to discover.<\/p>\n PPS \u00a0Count down to 19 June–the launch of my NEW Kentucky blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When I first became a speaker in genealogy, most conferences and seminars were held in the Spring and in the Fall. \u00a0The summer months were “dark.” \u00a0No meetings were held. \u00a0Too much other stuff was going on–kids out of school, … Continue reading
