Are you thinking about writing a personal history, or want to get back on track on one you've started? Wanting to scan and organize all those old photos, but you're overwhelmed? Now is the time! Tom and I are teaching a bunch of classes at two events in Utah this month that can help you jump-start a project.
April 15: Riverton Saturday Seminar (FREE)
9:00 -- 12:30, 3740 West Market Center Drive, Riverton, Utah
The Riverton Family Search Center is a great resource for family historians. At this month's Saturday Seminar, you can choose from eight classes, including two of ours:
Story Triage: How to Tell the Best Stories of Your Life (10:10 - 11:10)
How to Choose and Use Photos in a Personal or Family History (11:20 - 12:20)
April 22: UGA South Davis Family History Fair ($22)

Admission proceeds go to the Utah Genealogical Association. (Disclosure: we get a free sandwich for teaching.) This is a great deal for a whole day with 70 classes to choose from! Register here.
Ron Tanner (" a.k.a. Family History Ron") is the keynote speaker this year and trust me, you won't want to miss this. He is one of RootTech's most popular speakers and you will find what he has to say useful and entertaining. Here's what we're teaching that day:
How to Tell the Best Stories of Your Life (9:20-10:20)
Capturing Life Stories in Video Interview "Clips" (10:40 - 11:40)
