Fourth annual 'Remembering Generations - A Family Discovery Day'

 

Last updated 4/16/2015 at 11:15am



This Saturday, April 18, is the fourth annual “Remembering Generations Family Search Symposium — A Family Discovery Day.”

The symposium offers the opportunity to use top-notch genealogical resources and techniques. Consultants will be available to help you find your ancestors and learn about their lives.

Attendance increases yearly, as interest in genealogy grows. Last year there were over 275 attendees from all over the Spokane area. Multiple religions were represented.

Local youth, from Cheney and Medical Lake, spent this past year being trained as “family history consultants.” This year, they will teach some of the classes and will also be on hand to assist attendees.

One class is titled “Youth leading Youth.” This course is set up to teach the youth how to log-on and use FamilySearch.org.

If you are entirely new to genealogy, consider attending “Beginning Family History” to find out where to start. Or perhaps you might try the “Paleography” course, and learn how to decipher your ancestors’ old handwriting. These are only a few of the 24 classes being offered this year.

Attendees of the symposium can download a free syllabus or one can be purchased for $5 at registration. There is also a free lunch provided for all attendees.

The event will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ building located at 10405 W. Melville Road, just across from the Fairways Golf Course. Doors open for registration at 8 a.m. There will be a welcome at 8:40 a.m., and various classes will be held from 9:15 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Look to RememberingGenerations.com for more information concerning classes or to register.
