 * Lakeridge Family History Center Classes and Personal Assistance: Introductory and advanced classes are occasionally offered on the FamilySearch Family Tree, Indexing, and basic approaches to family history and genealogy. These are publized at the Center and in ward bulletins in our Orem six stake service area. We also invite and welcome family and ward youth, young adult and adult groups from these stakes to schedule visits for hands-on group training on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings at 7 or 7:30PM or by special arrangement at others times including on Saturdays and Sunday evenings. Since we have only 8 computers with internet connections, and are somewhat limited in space, we do computer projector presentations for larger groups in our classroom area or in the Stonewood Stake Center chapel. Participants are welcome to bring their own laptops on which they should be able to get an internet connection as they can now do in most LDS Church buildings.
 * Center Resources:

FamilySearch Catalog--Center staff can assist patrons in identifying and ordering films and microfiche available through the FamilySearch Catalog. The Lakeridge Center also has its own small collection of microfilm that patrons are welcome to view at the Center. Films that a patron orders will be sent to the family history center or library in the jurisdition where the patron lives. and may be viewed there. Films and fiche that patrons do not return to the Library within the alloted rental period will be retained by the center or library and become a part of their permanent collection. Note: Millions of microfilm images have been converted to digital images and the information these contain have been or are being indexed in a worldwide effort to make the information available o line. There are currently over three and a half billion viewable records on FamilySearch.org/Search.
