Genealogist and family historian Lisa Medina, RHIA, PMP, will present "Expanding Your Research of California Ancestors" on Saturday, October 12, at 10:30 a.m. during the Southern California Genealogical Genealogical Society's (SCGS) upcoming conference, Genealogy Jam. The fall Jamboree's theme is Discovering Your Southwest Heritage.
Lisa will review essential records, repositories, databases, and reference tools or researching California ancestors during periods of the Mexican and Spanish government and after California became part of the United States. She will also cover critical historical events and context to help identify additional resources for your research. Part of Lisa's presentation will focus on repositories that are not in California but often include ancestors who migrated there from other places (e.g., Baja California, New Mexico, Sonora, etc.). She will also review the historical context to help us understand how various events affected our California ancestors and the records documenting their lives.

You'll Walk Away With New Ways to Research the Southwest
Our new SCGS Genealogy Jam conference will occur several times each year to highlight speakers and topics specific to one area of research. Since the Southern California Genealogical Society is located in the Southwestern portion of the United States and most of our previous conference attendees have come from this area, we are starting the new conference series by focusing on our rich geographical area. Our speakers' presentations will cover the Southwestern United States, including California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, Texas, and Baja California to broaden our research area.
Our Pricing Starts at an Amazingly Low $30 for the Entire Conference
SCGS's Genealogy Jam will be presented in a hybrid format. It will cost $30 for SCGS members and $80 for non-members.
