This training is available for Family History Center workers, Ward and Stake Consultants, and ward and stake members in need of Family History training.

NOTICE: The Five Day Class is now incorporating instruction on the New Family Search program.

Most classes are followed by a hands-on laboratory period with individual one-on-one training for each student. The curriculum includes training in the research process and computer training covering PAF 5.0, all aspects of FamilySearch, FamilySearch on the Internet, and clearing names for the temple using TempleReady for Windows. Details about the content of the classes can be viewed in the Class Summary PDF. Attendees are encouraged to bring any of their own Family History information with them that would possibly allow them to clear a name for the temple during the class. A temple trip to do sealings will take place on the last day of class.
