Yeah. Sure. There's a ton a reasons why a Geneablogger should want to go to Southern California Genealogical Society's Annual Jamboree conference. Like you meet all those people you've been talking to online. Like you learn new stuff about genealogy.

But? Let's not forget all the free stuff you get just because you're a Geneablogger. That's right. Thomas MacEntee, founder of Geneabloggers, along with the assistance of Joan Miller, author of the blog Luxegen Genealogy and Family History, and Amy Coffin, author of the We Tree Genealogy Blog, put  together some awesome swag for the Geneablogger bags.

Weren't able to make it Jamboree this year? Don't despair. Right here at For Your Family Story, I will be running some contests for some of the stuff. That's right. FREE stuff for you.

The first thing I'm sharing with you is from Legacy Family Tree.  They included a coupon in our bags for ALL of our blog readers. Through June 30th, 2011, you can receive 20% off anything in their Legacy Store. So go shopping for goodness sakes. Don't wait.  You can even buy GenSmarts in their store, which is a very helpful piece of software that I happen to use & recommend.

In addition, I am an affiliate of Legacy Family Tree and whenever you click on a link on my website in order to purchase something in their store, I receive a commission.  [Full disclosure.]  Additionally, to receive the discount, you must use coupon code: genblog20 AND the link to their store is:

So what are you waiting for?

Who's that Peter? Why he's a parrot. Silly. Fun at the SCGS2011's Jamboree.

What does the face of your genealogy look like? What do your family's stories sound like? Don't know but want to know?

If you are in or around Southern Cali this next week, Jun 10th-12th, then drop on by the Southern California Genealogical Society's 42nd Annual Jamboree, where you will find a whole slew of people ~ from beginner to professional ~ learning how to find their past. Their history. Their stories. And the face(s) of their genealogy.

 I assure you that you will be in good company.  How can I be so sure? 'Cause I'll be there. *snort* That's right. I'll be soaking up all those Southern Cali rays [Oops. I mean, soaking up all those finding-my-ancestors-how-to's.]

So. Will I see you there?

If you can't make it, but, um, maybe I've sorta kinda gotten you just a wee bit interested in what your genealogy face(s) looks like, then perhaps it's time you met Great-Aunt Bernice and my "Getting Started" series for newbies. Oh. And get a load of this face above from my own genealogy, my grandmother, Rettie Maye (Martin) Marshall, a.k.a., "Paw Paw".
