===== February 18th from 9:00 A.M. to Noon at Riverton FHC - Introducing FamilySearch Family Tree  =====
==='''Volunteer at the Center'''===


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.  
Please contact the Center at (801)763-2093, (801)995-0780 or email [mailto:ut_mounttimpanogos@familyhistorymail.org ut_mounttimpanogos@familyhistorymail.org] for more information on how to join our TFHC consultant staff.  


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.

FamilySearch[edit | edit source]

FamilySearch is an approach to organizing and recording your family history (genealogy) online. It has powerful tools for data accuracy, usability, and collaboration. It is a way to work together to do family history. FamilySearch development is ongoing and aggressive, so you can expect frequent updates, including additional training materials. FamilySearch is intended to become the most accurate representation of an ancestral line. familysearch.org
