Calendar and Events

Upcoming Events

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

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.

February 24 and 25, 2012 - St. George Family History Expo

Over 50 classes will be available and will cover a range of topics such as research tips, online resources, helps for writing personal histories, recent updates in FamilySearch (shared by staff from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah), and much more.
