Take advantage of the special talents of Colleen Fitzpatrick, Ph.D., to help solve the mysteries of your old family photos. Colleen will be using photos from audience members during her presentation, and she will also be available for one-on-one consultation after her talk. Additionally, one of our exhibitors, Photos Made Perfect, will provide a free quote for photo restoration or on-site scanning. Other one-on-one consultation opportunities will be available from our experts Gary Boyd Roberts, Doug Richardson, and others. At popular demand, we are reinstituting SCGS's State and Regional tables to help you solve your ancestral mysteries. Bring your family group sheets for high-powered help. It's not too late - Bill Dollarhide Banquet Tickets are still available. We were very fortunate that the Hilton could accommodate our banquet in a larger room, so we still have tickets available for the very popular Friday night banquet with Bill Dollarhide. Reservations will be accepted through the end of April, but register by April 20 for our early-bird discount. Don't miss this entertaining social event! Be sure to check the website http://www.scgsgenealogy.com/2006-jamspeak1.htm for up-to-the-minute speaker schedules. Bill Dollarhide's Census talk has been moved to the first hour Saturday. Also, we have received a few questions about Friday schedule. Friday afternoon, there is a single track featuring top-tier speakers. The schedule is: 1:30 p.m. Arlene Eakle, Ph.D. 3:00 p.m. Jana Sloan Broglin, CG 4:30 p.m. Christine Rose, CG, CGL, FASG One final note. What perfect timing for Dick Eastman's http://blog.eogn.com/ review of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Genealogy, Second Edition. He writes glowing words about Christine Rose, CG, CGL and FASG, who is one of the many outstanding speakers lined up for Jamboree.
