ABOUT THE MAIN PRESENTATION:
COMMUNITY RESEARCH USING THE NATIONAL RIGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AND THE HISTORICAL MARKER DATABASE
Two genealogists began a conversation over lunch and ideas began to tumble around as they approached a common research dilemma from two different angles. It wasn't long before they discovered these two valuable sites that led to valuable discoveries in their research. Those metal signs you see on old buildings or the metal historic markers by the side of the road may offer clues to the lives of your ancestors.

ABOUT PEGGY CLEMENS LAURITZEN, AG, FOGS:

ABOUT THE CLASS:
MEMORY KEEPERS
There is so much more to FamilySearch than the FamilySearch Family Tree and records research. One of the best things we can leave for our descendants is a plethora of memories.  It has been suggested that this may be presented as a workshop. Perhaps having a room with a good Wifi connection could help attendees follow along. But they won't want to miss any of the slides in this presentation.

All meetings of the Group are open to the public with the goal of helping people use technology to further their family and personal history.  The group is in its 33rd year and previously was called the Utah Valley PAF Users Group.  On the blog is a way to subscribe to receive the press releases by email.  Members of the group ($15/year), besides being able to interact with presenters on ZOOM, 
receive the  monthly email newsletter TAGGology and have access to the more than 600 videos of past presentations and classes.  The TAGGology newsletter contains a wealth of information about genealogy, including information for Temple and Family History Consultants.  Free sample copies of the Newsletter can be requested by emailing uvtagginfo@gmail.com  .
