The
International Society of Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG) and the Southern
California Genealogical Society announce that four sessions of the
“Family History and DNA: Genetic Genealogy in 2013” conference will be
live streamed on a pay-for-view basis and available for viewing by
genetic genealogists around the world.
It is
especially exciting to be able to share four advanced-level sessions with
our remote audience. While it is likely that the sessions will be of the most
interest to those project administrators, DNA consultants and other
more experienced users of DNA information, we certainly encourage users of all experience levels to participate.
“The cost
of $30 per individual presentation includes the session’s syllabus,"
continued Alice Fairhurst, president of the Southern California
Genealogical Society and also a speaker at the event. "We are offering a
special discount for those who purchase a Full-Day Pass at the
discounted price of $100. Full-Day Pass holders will receive a digital
download of the entire conference syllabus of 12 articles at no
additional cost.”
The sessions to be pay-per-view streamed include:
10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

We
are grateful that these outstanding genetic genealogists have agreed to
shared their presentations via live stream. We hope that you will help
us spread the word about this exciting program by tweet, blog post,
email or even an old-fashioned phone call.
Just a few notes:
Readers
who are familiar with the SCGS Jamboree Extension webinar program will
ask whether these sessions will be available in the Members-only website
archive. At this point, the Janzen presentation may not be available
at the speakers’ request. The Bettinger, Moore and Fairhurst/Reynolds sessions will
be placed online in Q3 2013.
None of these sessions
will be available for purchase from Conference Resource, our conference
AV recording provider. Many of the other sessions are available at a $15
discount for orders placed before Thursday, June 6, at the Conference Resource website.
Note that this option gives you not only the “Family History and DNA”
sessions but also the Jamboree sessions that will be recorded. It’s an
outstanding offer for those who can’t be with us in Burbank.
One
other note: Jamboree is offering live-streamed video of several of the
sessions on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Thanks to the sponsorship of
Ancestry.com, these sessions are offered FREE of charge. One of the
sessions on Friday is the DNA Ask The Experts Panel Discussion with
Joanne Mountain, PhD from 23andme; Ken Chahine from AncestryDNA; Bennett
Greenspan from Family Tree DNA; CeCe Moore and Alice Fairhurst. The
list of free streamed sessions is available here.
