Ogden FamilySearch Library 2015 Conference

News
We are excited to have Marlin &amp; Kathy Jensen be our Keynote speakers for our conference. Marlin was the Church Historian and Recorder for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and among many other things, was instrumental in getting the Joseph Smith Papers published and encouraging calling local historians so oral histories would be gathered from mission and area presidents when they were released which greatly increased the gathering of international Church histories.

We have 64 classes so far and expect a few more to come on board. Some of the many presenters are: Geoff Rasmussen - CEO of Millennia Corporation (Legacy software) Amy Archibald is a family historian who specializes in sorting out your data and making it usable. Julie Judd, historian and Family Tree specialist Mark Olsen, Business Development Manager for MyHeritage Emma Lu Draper - Danish research Gaylon Findlay - classes on Ancestral Quest Janet and Matthew Hovorka Peg Ivanyo - Technology, GPS locations, Genealogy Standards for Beginners Sue Story - Google Earth and Adoption records Fritz Juengling - beginning genealogical research Marilyn Markham Carolina Aranda - Spanish Research Scott Allen - Ancestry.com and FindMyPast.com Jessica Taylor - AG - British Isles research Mike Booth - Roots Magic software
