The generations on either side of me link me to my past and my future. My view of family history involves revealing the roots and the branches.

Throughout this blog you will find perspectives related to the doctrines of temple and family history work from revealed revelation given to living prophets of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Reunion Resources Page Added to Blog


I have added a new PAGE to this blog. See the menu bar directly under the header of this blog. Here is also a direct link to the new page:

http://revealingrootsandbranches.blogspot.com/p/reunion-resources.html

The page "Reunion Resources" contains resources and website links to help you plan family reunions. Check out the new page and let me know if there are any sites or resources you utilize that I do not have in my list and I will get them added. As I find new sources I will list them here as well. 

I really like having this information in a set location on my blog for easy access. As you utilize the resources and plan family reunions, come back and share your experiences in the comment section.

2015 UGA South Davis Family History Fair

Put this event on your calendar and plan now to attend the Utah Genealogical Association's South Davis Family History Fair on Saturday, April 11, 2015 in Woods Cross, Utah.
Check out this link for registration and schedule information: http://fair.ugagenealogy.org

The conference is $20 for non-UGA members and $15 for UGA members ... and FREE for anyone who is selected as a volunteer! Registration includes a free electronic syllabus for all sessions.

I am presenting the following sessions at this conference:


10:30-11:30 am
Overwhelmed …. Paralyzed?  Time to get organized!
Overwhelmed by all the new technology?  Too many ancestors to research?  So much to share with your descendants?  Are you awake around the clock trying to figure out where to start? Come discover how to get it all sorted out and put together a personal priority plan.

12:45-1:45 pm
Piecing together the Evidence
How do you know the documents, sources, and photos you just found are really about your ancestor?  We will discover, like a giant jigsaw puzzle, if you have the right pieces of evidence, where to find the missing pieces, and what to do with the pieces that just don’t fit.

2:00-3:00 pm
Family Reunion Planning:  Tools & Resources for Successful Events
From simple cousin parties to multi-day events, come discover the available resources to help you organize, plan, prepare and pull-off successful family events.

3:15-4:15 pm
Finding the Living among the Dead: Using the Internet to Find Your Living Cousins
The missing link in your family history may be one phone call or email away. We will explore clues available in family trees, obituaries, online tools and the resources available to identify your cousin’s contact information. Come discover your living cousins online.

I am looking forward to seeing you there!
