The FamilySearch California User Group was created on April 29, 2015 under the direction of Bryan Austad of the FamilySearch Department for the purpose of learning how the general public uses FamilySearch and finding ways to improve FamilySearch.[edit | edit source]
The User Group will meet monthly on the last Thursday of each month (except in November and December due to the holiday season).[edit | edit source]
When possible, FamilySearch will provide closed circuit webinars or in person presentations to educate the User Group and when possible have them try out new features and provide feedback to FamilySearch.[edit | edit source]
