Jamboree is the largest genealogy event on the West coast! bring your photosgraphs to scan Saturday Only

 

 

Since 1999 we have been serving the genealogy community by scanning photos on site at conventions and monthly Genealogy Society meetings.  (This photo was taken at the GenTech our first Convention in 2000.)  This service has been of great value to genealogist and society members who do not have access to scanners and do not want to use the US Postal service or leave their photos with any chain photo lab.

The following are just a few of many societies that have invited us to make presentations to their members and are clients as well.  Your welcome to e-mail them for their opinion of our service or call them for information on becoming a member of their group.

If you are interested in joining their group you may want to visit their website  or contact the president, Randy Seaver, or  Connie Ottinger directly.  They meet at the At Chula Vista Civic Center Library, 365 F Street  Their motto is "We Dig Our Ancestors"

 

 

 

 

Whether it is going to lunch with all the members of a society or with the Program Chair or President, lunch after a presentation is always greatly appreciated.  In 2006 we gave a presentation on Image Editing in 1900s costume and this year we were invited again to present Photo Dating dressed in 1950s. 

 

 

See more costume photos in "Special Effects".  and the "Rabbit Hole".

 

A 1950s costume would not be complete without an authentic background, see special effects/joining two photographs.
