Welcome back to the African Roots Podcast! This week I am coming to you from Burbank California and I am here for the 47th annual Southern California Genealogy Jamboree! I am honored to be here once again and honored to be giving two presentations at this event! There is once again, an African American Track, and similar to the German and Eastern European track there will be session on all things from DNA to special record collections and beyond! I am also honored to be among a fascinating roster of speakers, and this year promises to be even more exciting than ever.
But today—-I am thrilled to have a special guest!!! Nicka Smith, who is here from Tennessee is my guest today, and she too is presenting. She presented yesterday at DNA day, and she is going to continue sharing her skills with the audience two more times!
We are discussing DNA, the future of DNA & genealogy, advice for first time conference attendees, and more!
Listen to Nicka as she shares her insights with you the listening audience!
Meanwhile, I am sharing a few images from the conference with you as things get underway!
Thank you for tuning in this week, and thank you for taking time from your day and for sharing notes and events with me. I shall be catching upon scheduled events next week when I return to Maryland,
In the meantime, remember to keep researching, keep documenting and keep sharing what you find.
