George Randall - Beyond the Military Record: A Case Study (Education/Training)
1:00 pm to 2:30 pm
FREE WEBINAR from Southern California Genealogical Society (SCGS) and Family Research Library
Presented by Barbara Randall
As with many veterans, George Randall downplayed his military service. His military record gave rank, awards, dates and places of service. But, what was his service experience really like? The journey uses WWII history, and many research sources to develop the experience of his military service.
A native of central New York, Barbara Randall discovered genealogy at Jamboree. Barbara is active in SCGS as the co-chair of the Jamboree Extension Series Webinars, facilitator of the Legacy Family Tree User group, librarian and Jamboree Committee member. She is also active in APG, NGS, and Genealogical Speakers Guild. Barbara presents workshops on a variety of genealogy topics. She is a DAR volunteer genealogist/consultant and writer.
FREE WEBINAR from Southern California Genealogical Society (SCGS) and Family Research Library
Presented by Annette Burke Lyttle
Bounty land was offered as compensation for soldiers who fought in the Revolution, War of 1812, and Mexican War, but veterans of these wars didn’t simply take up residence on their land grants. Some did, but many people who weren’t veterans ended up with these lands. Learn about the laws, all the people who got involved, and where to find the records.
Annette Burke Lyttle is a professional genealogist specializing in online and repository research, and genealogical education and writing. She loves helping people find and tell their family stories.
The program will discuss the options wannabe book writers have, from DIY (scrapbooking self-publishing with a print template) to hiring photo and design help, to commissioning a company that specializes in producing heirloom-quality
family books.
Janeen will share what she learned as she worked with the client's family, and with a book, designer to preserve the family’s letters, diaries, documents, and scrapbook entries for posterity.
The program is aimed at Genealogists of all levels, who are looking for best practices for writing one's family story.
Janeen Bjork - Television researcher and genealogy teacher has applied the detective, analytic and presentation skills she garnered in a 30-year career to her family tree and then to the trees of friends, students, and clients.

Presented by Janice Lovelace, PhD
Many families have the oral history that an ancestor was Native American. Minnesota has a significant Native American community and a long history of interaction with non-Native populations over centuries. How does a family researcher begin to discover if it is true that an ancestor is of Native background? What federal, state, and tribal records are available?
