The 2024 Livestreamed FHC is Over, but Digital Recordings are Now Available!

Thanks to everyone who made our 2024 Family History Conference such a resounding success! We are so grateful to the many volunteers who worked behind the scenes to organize the program and to those who worked all day at the conference. Many thanks go also to the archivists and librarians from local repositories who came to share information with registrants, and, of course, to our members and friends who attended both in person and via Zoom. From the early hours of the morning to late afternoon when people with smiling faces headed to their cars, tired but happy, the day was filled with great conversations, an incredible amount of new information, arms full of items purchased from the StLGS sales tables, and many promises to get online and start practicing new skills! Did you miss it? Well, here is some good news . . .

Digital Recordings of the Conference are Now Available!

All of the eight lectures were recorded and are now linked from our website. They are easily accessible via a link in an email sent to all registrants. If you didn't register but still want to see the recordings, you are in luck. The recordings will be live until Friday, 2 August, and you can register to watch them at your leisure. An electronic copy of the syllabus is posted on the page with the recordings giving you access to the handout material. More information on the FHC page on our website. Registration is via our secure online store.
