I’ve been preparing today for my next Family History Class.  I’m really excited.  In the last year and a half, I’ve had more than 1000 family history students.  I am happy about that.  We meet in a Stake Center in Orem at 450 South 100 West.  I feel like this is a way to give back a bit of the joy I feel when I do family history work.  The class is repeated 3 times each Tuesday.  You can come from 10:00 to 12:00, from 1:00 to 3:00 or from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.  I hope you will join us if you are able.
