Ogden FamilySearch Library 2017 Conference
Saturday September 9, 2017 is the date for the upcoming Conference at Weber State University in their Shepherd Union Building. This will be an all day event starting at 8:30 AM with a keynote speaker, then moving into the approximately 60 different classes that will be offered.
Since our 2006 Conference, this event has been and is entirely free and open to the public. We are grateful for the sponsorship of the Weber State University History Department and the Ogden FamilySearch Library, who make this annual family history conference possible.
Class Schedules, Biographical sketches, Class Descriptions and other information will be entered into this page as the information becomes available.
We have 46 classes confirmed as of 11 March 2017 and we expect to have a variety of offerings, including a tour and presentation about the Special Collections in the Stewart Library at WSU; classes on German, Italian, Swiss, English and Scandinavian research.
