FAMILY HISTORY
WELCOME to Family Discovery Day
November 16, 2019 10 am - 3 pm
602 Schweitzer Cutoff Rd, Sandpoint Idaho 83864
It's all about discovering your Ancestry and keeping family Memories.
Sixteen classes have been planned to help you celebrate your family and discover your family's history. Any of our classes will help you learn how to unlock the door to your family’s past through records and historical collections. You will also see there are many helpful genealogical tools at your disposal. Come learn how to use them.
In addition to classes, in our Sandpoint Family History Center, you can receive one-on-one assistance specific to your research needs. There are also two labs, one for learning how to save photos & the voices of your family members in the "Memories" feature of FamilySearch.org and another lab for learning what volunteer indexers do to make millions of records accessible to fellow researchers around the world. Who knows, you may want to become an indexing volunteer and be part of this incredible effort.
In our Cultural Hall, there will also be several "Keepsake" displays available at this event to enjoy and consider how we preserve the memories of our loved ones. While you enjoy a free lunch, you can take time to see these displays, visit any presenters available who gave talks you may have missed, and learn more from handouts for your use.
Whether you want to learn about DNA, photo restoration & preservation, decoding seemingly impossible handwriting, breaking through brickwalls, interviewing family members, connecting your ancestors across the ocean, immigration, preserving the cherished memories of your family or just getting started in tracing your family tree, please join us to see what you can learn to pursue your ancestry.
Learn more about this event and register here at this website, at a Family History Center, or by mailing a registration form to Denise Hughes, Event Coordinator 518 High Road, Sandpoint Idaho 83864. Please do not mail your registration after Saturday, November 9th. You will also be able to register the day of the event.
Looking forward to seeing you discover ways to connect with your past at this year's event!
