ABOUT THE MAIN PRESENTATION BY OLIVIA JEWELL:
MODERN TOOLS FOR HELPING RUN YOUR FAMILYSEARCH CENTER

ABOUT THE CLASS BY OLIVIA JEWELL:
FAMILY CONNECTIONS EXPERIMENT
The 21 Day Family Connections Experiment was created during the height of the 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic as a social experiment exploring the psychological benefits of daily connections with family past and present. See what it is, what we learned, what resources are still available, and how you can try it too!
ABOUT OLIVIA JEWELL:
Olivia is the founder of the Family Connections Experiment, a project focused on connecting families past and present and measuring the psychological benefits of increasing those connections. She is also a professional presenter for genealogy and other educational conferences including RootsTech and BYU Education Week, and has served as the director and assistant director at her local FamilySearch Center for the past eight years. Amidst her busy schedule she has learned to use her technological savvy and experience to teach busy people of all ages simple ways they can incorporate family history daily using modern technology to make it easy and fun.
