June 2026 Genealogy Meetings

Summer is in sight, and many of us are firming up our vacation plans. Luckily, all of our upcoming meetings will be recorded, so you can attend in person when you are able or watch them at your leisure if you have a scheduling conflict or two. We are planning some exciting fall events, but until those plans are finalaized and ready for us to announce them, we want to remind you about the deadlines for registering for our Salt Lake City Research Trip or watching the digital recordings of the Family History Conference. Here's what's on tap for June . . .
