Southern California Genealogical Society’s Jamboree is having two FREE Events
Here’s a great way to have fun from home and maybe win something you really want. I hope you’ll tell all your members, family and friends about it.
The Southern California Genealogical Society’s Jamboree is offering two FREE events for at-distance participants: JamboFree, two-days of educational opportunities, and the free Exhibit Hall full of Show Specials and Prize Drawings.
JamboFree – Free Education for All offers two days of activities, Monday, Jun 7 and Wednesday June 9. We hope you’ll join us. Here’s the schedule https://genealogyjamboree.com/jambofree-2021/
Virtual Exhibit Hall – The Hall opens Friday, June 4 at 9 am (PDT) and closes Sunday, June 13 at 12 midnight (PDT). That means the Jamboree Exhibitors are offering your favorite products and services at amazing discounts 24 hours a day for 10 days!
Plus, every Jamboree Exhibitor is offering a Prize Drawing. You can enter to win database subscription services, research assistance, DNA testing and interpretation, software and more. Enter at the SCGS booth for a chance to win the Conference Grand Prize – a 7-night stay at the Plaza Hotel in Salt Lake City.
Not enough? How about FREE access to selected Ancestry products for 10-days of the conference?
To join the fun at either event, you will need a FREE SCGS account (think of it like putting on your name badge). Here’s the link to open an SCGS account: https://next.scgsgenealogy.com/
Already have an account? You can always use the “forgot password” feature to reset your password. Once you’ve logged in, click the MY JAMBOREE tab in the left column.
If you have any questions, please ask me.

MyHeritage Photo Repair
We did it again! I’m very excited to announce the release of Photo Repair — the newest feature to join MyHeritage’s photo toolbox. Photo Repair automagically fixes scratches, tears, holes, stains and other damage on historical photos.
When a photo is uploaded to MyHeritage, a specialized detection algorithm runs in the background and determines if it has sustained damage. If so, a Repair button will appear, ensuring that users will not waste time attempting to repair photos that don’t need it. Photos may be repaired with a single click, and in just a few seconds. The default repair model, named Gentle Repair, will fix most types of damage with minimal changes to the rest of the photo. For photos with more substantial damage, an Extensive Repair model can be applied.
Watch the video to see some amazing examples of the results produced when using Photo Repair.
Please see some more incredible examples of repaired photos in the blog post and find more information in the press release. I would be grateful if you could share this news with your audience, include the video and attached visual, and encourage them to see the magic for themselves.
Enjoy.

Free Access to all Military Records on MyHeritage
I hope this email finds you well! I wanted to let you know about a special offer we have in honor of Memorial Day in the U.S.: free access to all military records on MyHeritage starting tomorrow, May 26, through June 1, 2021.
MyHeritage is home to 69.6 million military records from all over the world, including draft, enlistment, and service records, pension records, and other military documents. These collections contain valuable information about men and women who served and their families. Military records can contain birth and death dates, names and addresses of family members, and details about the soldier’s service. In some cases, they can provide details not found in other types of records, such as notes on physical characteristics like height, weight, and eye color.
This offer is a fantastic opportunity for anyone with ancestors who fought for their country — and a great way to honor their service this Memorial Day. Please spread the word to your audience, and encourage them to search the collection. You can read more about the military records on MyHeritage in the blog post.
Enjoy!
