With an increased interest in new FamilySearch and the possible availability of this new program in the near future, the Utah South Area Family History Training Center is embarking on an ambitious training schedule to accommodate Family History Center Directors, Family History Consultants, Priesthood Leaders, and others with a need or desire to learn. The following training options will be available in 2008:

The Five Day Class

The Five Day Class, scheduled throughout 2008, will provide the best all-around training for students. Currently, the Five Day class includes an introduction to new FamilySearch with a hands-on lab. All students have temporary access to the program during class week.  In February, we will begin teaching more classes and labs on the various aspects of new FamilySearch. These classes and labs will cover the same topics on new FamilySearch as those that will be taught in the Sunday Night Classes listed below. To register for the Five Day Class, please click on "Five Day Class" on the menu to the left.

Sunday Night Classes

Effective January 6, the Sunday Night program will offer four classes each month on four consecutive Sunday nights from 6:30  to 9:00 p.m. with instruction and labs on various aspects of new FamilySearch. This is to accommodate Family History Consultants and others who cannot attend the Five Day class.

Subjects covered during this program include: Introduction to new FamilySearch; Combining duplicate records; Evaluating, Adding an Opinion, Disputing, Editing and Deleting; Searching and Adding New Information, Clearing names for Temple work, etc.
