General Information
Class Reminders for the Payson FamilySearch Center
We offer a variety of classes each month taught by amazing presenters. There just might be one listed below that you’ve been waiting for. Check it out; there’s no sign-up necessary.
Tuesday, May 7, 10:30 am, Glenn Whicker will be teaching “Google Photos.” Google photos is a free online tool for genealogists who are looking for easy ways to collect, organize, preserve and share their photos and videos. Glenn will teach you how to manage your photos using this valuable tool. As a Records Preservation Service Missionary, Glenn has been serving at the Payson FamilySearch Center for the past five years. He has a lot of experience in family history and has been involved in genealogy for 40+ years. Glenn is an excellent instructor and very easy to follow.
Thursday, May 9, 7:00 pm, Shaunese Luthy will be teaching “Find the County and Local Histories.” County and local histories are another record type that not many people think about using. County histories can include stories about ancestors, when the area was first settled, and who the first settlers were. Come join Shaunese and learn how to find and use the county and local histories to help find other records and bring your family history to another level. Shaunese has her degree in Family History and Genealogy from Brigham Young University and runs her own genealogy business. She is well equipped to cover this topic and help you benefit from the information you learn.
