These short hands on exercises are designed to introduce everyone to some of the most popular new features and tools available on Family Tree. Classes will last 30 minutes each followed by a question and answer session. Attendees should have an LDS account and have their usernames and passwords available. If you need help setting up an LDS account please come in to the center prior to the class and we will help you. Basic computer skills are necessary for this to be a helpful experience.
