'''On-Line Genealogy Conference from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City October 12th – 16th, 2015''' The Family History Library and the Research Specialists of the United States and Canada Reference team are offering a free, never before offered, week-long seminar in October of 2015 in Salt Lake City. The focus will be exclusively U.S. research. The classes will be ideal for beginning and intermediate genealogists interested in learning about U.S. records, FamilySearch resources, and Family History Library collections. Many of the classes will also be offered as webinars for those who can’t make it to Salt Lake City. I will post a list of the webinar classes as it becomes available and we’ll stream those classes here in the Family History Centre for those interested.
