I'm so there - Southern California Jamboree

Yes, I am sooooo there!  I have paid for my registration, workshops, and dinners for the Jamboree.  The hotel room is booked, and Leslie Carney and I will be driving out to enjoy Burbank!  I am looking forward to spending time with fellow Arizona gals Laurie Desmaris and Bev Fieg - (the four of us recently terrorized Salt Lake City) we are dangerous together but oh so much fun! Can't wait to attend the Documenting a Respectable Family History with Tom Jones, Creating a Digital Scrapbook with Barb Groth and dinners with speakers Tom Jones and Michael Lacopo.  For more information on the Jamboree visit:   http://www.genealogyjamboree.com/

Wow!  Completely overwhelmed and filled with new research ideas.  The day started out with Laura Bush and Jenna Hager Bush.

Dick Eastman Thomas MacEntee and Laurie Desmarais I had the pleasure of sitting with many talented bloggers during Laura Bush's speech.  Some of my favorites including Lisa Louise Cooke, Amy Lenertz Coffin, Thomas MacEntee and Dick Eastman. I did attend a class by Michael Lacopo talking about tax records.  I will be hitting the tax rolls for my hard to find ancestors asap.  I also learned that Michael has a blog called Whose your Daddy that is a must read.

#FGS2015 The Conference hasn't started but I have!

Leslie Carney and I spent a fun filled day researching at the Family History Library here in Salt Lake.  We are lucky to be at the same hotel as Laurie Desmarrais and Beverley Fieg!  The Arizona Girls will be hitting the town soon for dinner.  Can not wait to get back to the library.  I still have family histories ot pull and microfilm but made a huge dent today.
