February 18th from 9:00 A.M. to Noon at Riverton FHC - Introducing FamilySearch Family Tree[edit | edit source]

Genealogists and enthusiasts alike have benefited from new.familysearch.org, but FamilySearch’s new Family Tree will take things to a whole new level. Back by popular demand is one of our favorite speakers, Ron Tanner, who will offer the keynote address at the Riverton Saturday Seminar on February 18. In his address, “The Future of FamilySearch Family Tree,” he will discuss the issues with new.familysearch.org and how the Family Tree that is being built for www.familysearch.org will solve many of the existing problems. He will also offer a product demonstration of the Family Tree.

Following the 9:00 a.m. keynote presentation, there will be two blocks of four classes each that will cover topics of interest to both beginning and advanced family history enthusiasts.
