== '''Descendant Research:  Find and Add Distant Cousins to your Tree''' ==
More than surfing Family Tree for temple opportunities, this class will focus on how to research records to find the descendants of your ancestors using sound genealogical research practices.   A system of keeping track of where you are and what you have completed will be demonstrated.  How to utilize a personal tree at Ancestry.com and how to sync your newly found relatives and their sources with Family Tree will be shown as part of a case study.  Examples and the case study involve English research; but the techniques shown could be adapted to research anywhere.   Emphasis is not on finding names already in FamilyTree,  but adding people that have not yet been found.

== FamilySearch for Beginners (offered twice) ==
Offered twice. New to FamilySearch? Do you think you would benefit from a “hands on” experience? We are offering a lab class this year for you. If you have an LDS or Familysearch account, you are ready to attend. Volunteers in our One-on-One Circle of Service can help you register with FamilySearch during the conference (you would need to be able to access e-mail there to complete the registration), or visit the Ogden FamilySearch Library before the day of the conference.
