News, discoveries, wish lists, help and undocumented features of the best genealogy site on the internet. Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask. Questions will be shared with area support staff. Cool "How to" tips will be posted.
Just spent a great week July 28-31 in Provo, UT where I saw some of you! Let us share our favorite tips that we learned from the FamilySearch presentations.
My wife an I attended together but still needed our 5 children on the team if we were to cover all the great concurrent sessions.
There were dozens of speakers with email names@FamilySearch.org. My favorite was David Rencher, Chief Geneaological Officer of FamilySearch. I focused on German, Irish and Huguenot research sources and methodologies. My wife enjoyed the BYU History sources and the methodology track.
Some vendors and participants were wary from the 4 days of intense inspiration and yearned for the 2 day conference. I noticed they were locals and didn't have to come in from California as I did!
The Southern California Genealogy Jamboree was just the right length for me, but I only had to drive half as far to get there. What do you think?
