If any of you are interested, here’s the info:
I will be starting a new Family History Class this September 10th! The class is held every Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon, then again from 1:00 to 3:00 (same class repeated) in the Stake Center (450 South 100 West, Orem). This is a FUN class, but you will receive weekly assignments (a couple …of hours’ worth) to help you actually get started and learn skills that will enable you to do all the things you know you want to do, but may not yet know how.
The topics of the classes will include the following:
1. Introduction to Family History Work
2. Journal Keeping
3. Life Chronologies and Time Lines
4. Your Personal History
5. Organizing Your Computer Files, Digitizing
6. Doing Descendant Research, FAG, Types of Sources: Primary, Secondary, Compiled
7. Types of Records and Where to Find Them, Censuses, Document Binders
8. Sourcing Documents
9. Using the Internet to Search, Google
10. Location Research
11. Finding Histories of Family Members, Oral Histories
12. LDS Sources, Blessings of the Temple
13. The Spirit World / Sharing Success Stories
The cost for the class handouts is $24.00. After each class all the handouts and more information will be emailed to each participant. At the end of the term, you will have a binder filled with excellent information and instructions that will help you to document and record your life and the lives of those around you. The work is very hands-on and fun and will focus on your family and extended families, but you will learn skills that can take you far beyond that. You will feel the Spirit of Elijah as you do this work. The lessons build on each other, so it’s best if you can commit to come to as many classes as possible if you’d like to attend.
If you are interested in joining our September class, please email me (annlewis@byu.net) to have your name included. You are welcome to invite other family members or friends. You know this is something you’ve always wanted to do. Now is the time to do it!
Dear Ann Lewis: I have been informed that you offer your family history class on line. I am a consultant that needs a lot of help in research. I have spent a lot of time working on duplicates under the old plan. I can see that there are still several ways make things worse without sharp research skills. I have a hard time remembering which key to hit when I see others show me how. I feel like I would benefit from having the steps in front of to practice each step time and tike again until they are memorized. If your program is not available on line when will classes start again? and where are they held? Thank you Barry E. Brown e-mail brownfolks1@gmail.com. (801)-472-5797.
How may I register for your class series?
Hi Dixie! Where do you live?
I’ll start another semester of classes in September after school starts. The current semester of classes will end in May. Email me at annlewis@byu.net if you would like to have me add your name to the mailing list. Thanks!
Ann do you ever offer the class in the evening or Fridays
Yes, there is an evening class from 6:00 to 8:00. All 3 classes are on Tuesdays. Please come if you can!
Will you be starting classes again in January 2014?
Sorry, I meant 2015.
