A full day of genealogy and family history classes and activities to help you get started and continue on the adventure of finding your ancestors. We are pleased to announce that there will be ASL interpreters available. After registering, please contact Charlotte Ker (cker.terp@gmail.com) to discuss class choices. 4 hands-on labs are being offered. Please bring your laptop or other device and get ready to “dig-in” and uncover your heritage. Lunch – bring your own or go out to nearby establishments. If you bring your own you will be carrying it with you so please do not expect a storage or refrigerated area. A list of eateries in the area will be provided. Tables will be set up in the cultural hall if you would like to bring something back. Please feel free to bring your own lunch; go grab something and bring it back, or visit a nearby restaurant. We will also be showing some of the newest sessions from RootsTech 2016 — more information on that coming soon. The FamilyHistory Center will be open for use throughout the conference. We are planning several other activities, so be sure to check back here for more information.
