Computerized Family History and Genealogy Conference

The eleventh annual Computerized Genealogy Conference at Brigham Young University is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, March 14 and 15, . This conference is designed to be a how-to guide for everyone—beginning, intermediate, and advanced researchers. The focus of the conference is to help everyone learn how new computer programs and advancements in existing programs can improve family history and genealogy work.

Participants can also attend any vendor demonstrations on Friday and Saturday evening from 5: 30 to 7:45 p.m. Those who wish to attend evening classes can register for $20 for both nights. For $50 they can attend both nights and receive the syllabus.

In addition, representatives from the Family and Church History Department will be discussing how to effectively use LDS Church family history programs. Also this year will be new classes by vendors of products that aid family history work. The conference is sponsored by the BYU Center for Family History and Genealogy, LDS Family History Library, and BYU’s Division of Continuing Education. Anyone with an interest in family history or genealogy is invited to attend and meet with fellow genealogists and computer enthusiasts.
