NEW On-Line Classes


AVAILABLE NOW Family History Center

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah has been providing classes to patrons for many years. In the past, a patron would have to travel to the Library to take advantage of these classes, but no longer. The Library will begin testing different methods of exporting these classes to patrons who reside outside of the Salt Lake City area. The first method to be tested is a set of five lessons in a classroom setting in a video format. These lessons are now available online and cover the basics of getting started with "FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH IN ENGLAND". The lessons are located on Family History Center in Sacramento scroll down to the box that says "Online Training Classes" click on MORE
