The Orange County California Genealogical Society (OCCGS), celebrating their 50th Anniversary, will
be hosting the inaugural “Genealogy BASH and Book Faire” on Saturday, March 2, 2013 at the

Ten of Southern California’s best family history speakers will give talks on subjects ranging from how
the Internet is changing genealogical research to DNA testing for genealogy. There will be 20
lectures in four sessions from which to choose. There is a wide range of subjects that will be of
interest to anyone who is researching their family roots. Seating is guaranteed if pre-registered on
