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.

Wednesday, May 15, 1:00 pm, Steve Lowry will be teaching “Descendancy Research.” Family History is in Steve’s blood and he loves sharing this knowledge with others. He has helped many of the members of his ward, as well as youth and adult groups throughout the stake. Steve has taught many Family History classes at church and over the web, and he continues to teach a class several times a year via zoom. We are blessed to have Steve as one of our regular instructors at the Payson FamilySearch Center. Join Steve’s class and allow him to share his knowledge about this tremendously valuable tool and how it can be used to expand your family tree. Whether you are just starting your family tree or have a completely developed one, this class is for you.

Thursday, May 16, 7:00 pm, Kristy Bloomer will be teaching “FamilySearch Partner Sites.” Do you know what the partner sites are and how they can help with your research? Kristy will share with you the partner sites available and what topics each one specializes in. This class will explain how these partner sites can assist you in being more time effective in finding your ancestors. We all need more time, especially with this important work. Bring your family history to the next level and participate in this class. Kristy is one of the Directors at the Payson FamilySearch Center along with her husband, Bob. They have served a mission at the Salt Lake FamilySearch Center as well as in Peru as missionaries for FamilySearch. Kristy has a lot of experience with genealogy and you will learn a lot from her class.
