You can review the complete class schedule at www.fhexpos.com/expos/
We will have two data administrators from new FamilySearch at the expo. They will spend one on one time with patrons and helped them with their pedigree questions. In many cases, they can to actually ‘fix’ the problem right then! Plus, you may learn some new tips and tricks as you talk with the administrator to help you work more successfully in new FamilySearch.

You can sign up to have your family history book scanned and published on FamilySearch.org, where it can be accessed by others free of charge.
