A Special Thank You from SCGS Jamboree

The Jamboree Committee would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to the Genetic Genealogy, and Jamboree 2019 conferences. You made our 50th Birthday Bash very special.

Thank you, Attendees! 
You are what makes the conference both exceptional and memorable. Without you, there wouldn't be a Jamboree. Whether you came from near or far, were with us in person or via the wonders of technology, Thank You!

Thank you, Speakers! 
For generously sharing your knowledge, research experiences and tips, your time and your sense of humor. You continuously lead by example and inspire genealogists of all experience levels to learn more, expand our vision of what family history research is and should be, all the while reminding us to be open to all possibilities in life and in research. Speakers, Thank You!

Thank you, Exhibitors!
For showcasing the products and services that make research so rewarding, for preserving records and making them accessible online, and for the books that we just can't give up even in the digital age. For the societies that give us opportunities to learn, share and meet others who share our passion for family history. Exhibitors, Thank You!

Thank you, Sponsors!
For your generous support of Jamboree. We are very grateful for the support of all of our sponsors. Jamboree extends special thanks to Ancestry, who generously sponsored the cost of the live streaming that has been shared by viewers around the world, and to FamilyTree DNA, who sponsored the Jamboree App. 

Finally, and most importantly, Thank you to all the Jamboree Volunteers!
It takes hundreds and hundreds of hours of volunteer time to produce Jamboree each year. Some volunteers work year-round to plan the events, and others work an hour or two before or at the conference. Every hour magically contributes to making Jamboree special for everyone. 

Sincerely,
The SCGS Board of Directors 
& the 2019 Jamboree Committee

[CA-SCGS] "Roots" The Mini-Series Exhibit At Jamboree 2019!

"Roots"  

The Mini-Series Exhibit 

 At Southern California 

Genealogical Society's 

Jamboree 

2019 

 Exhibit Loan Courtesy 
of 
The Lee Collection and Megan Lee 

My name is Megan; most of you know me as SCGS's Jamboree Social Media Coordinator. I am an adoptee born into a theatrical family; both of my parents were prominent figures during the Golden Age of Hollywood. My father is best known for writing eight of the 12 hours of the Mini-Series, "Roots." 

I am a repository for each of my parents' 50 years of work. I felt that my father's contributions to "Roots" would make an excellent addition to Jamboree on its 50th Birthday Bash! 

The book and Mini-Series, "Roots," were timely in 1977, and just as relevant now in 2019, maybe even more so. This piece of work is the heart and soul of genealogy today. Alex Haley ignited the revolution that we are now in. In fact, the first lesson from Alex was before the Mini-Series aired! Do you know what it was? Come to Jamboree to find out! 

The Lee Collection of "Roots" memorabilia to be displayed at Jamboree will include: scripts, rewrites, a signed book, awards, award programs, set photos, set shirts, correspondences between involved parties, the plagiarism lawsuit/settlement papers, and some of the media prior, during, and after the airing of "Roots." 

 A fascinating piece of the exhibit is that "Roots," the book, was published in August of 1976. My father's first draft was dated March of 1976 before the book was published. My father created the Mini-Series from unpublished versions of Alex's book. These unpublished manuscripts held Alex's corrections, comments, and sections that were removed before final publishing. 
To view the "Roots" Mini-Series Exhibit join us at Jamboree! 
Sincerely, 
Megan Lee
Jamboree Social Media Coordinator

A special Thank You to 

CAAGS, California African American Genealogical Society, 

for hosting a table for the special handling of  "Roots" 
Memorabilia in the Exhibit Hall.

Special Announcement

SCGS Becomes a Partner of the Famous Newport Beach Film Festival

 

The Southern California Genealogical Society’s Genealogy Jamboree turns 50 and the Newport Beach Film Festival is celebrating its 20th year. SCGS is proud to be one of its non-profit partners.

Buy Tickets Here: https://newportbeachfilmfest.com

Two films in particular may be of interest to SCGS members. 

Film 1: You Only Die Twice

Monday April 29, 8.30 pm Theater 

The Lot 3 in Fashion Island, Newport Beach

Yair Lev, an Israeli documentarist, turns to a detective and sets on a personal and historical journey to uncover the true identity of the man who stole his grandfather's identity during WWII. With the help of documents found in archives, letters and family photos revealed suddenly in drawers - objects that time had forgotten - the filmmaker leads this hectic search to unique locations and remarkable people from the two sides of the historical fence with which the enigma is finally solved.

Trailer: https://vimeo.com/278431271

Film 2: Who Will Write Our History? 

Thursday May 2 Lido Theater, Newport Beach

From the filmmakers website https://whowillwriteourhistory.com: 

In November 1940, days after the Nazis sealed 450,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, a secret band of journalists, scholars and community leaders decided to fight back. Led by historian Emanuel Ringelblum and known by the code name Oyneg Shabes, this clandestine group vowed to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda not with guns or fists but with pen and paper. 

Now, for the first time, their story is told as a feature documentary. Written, produced and directed by Roberta Grossman and executive produced by Nancy Spielberg, Who Will Write Our History mixes the writings of the Oyneg Shabes archive with new interviews, rarely seen footage and stunning dramatizations to transport us inside the Ghetto and the lives of these courageous resistance fighters. They defied their murderous enemy with the ultimate weapon–the truth–and risked everything so that their archive would survive the war, even if they did not.
