FamilySearch Support is pleased to announce that they will be offering more training classes, at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, to all registered Family History Consultants and Priesthood Leaders. This is an opportunity to obtain training and a new FamilySearch account early. To take advantage of this opportunity and register for any of the available classes please go to: http://familysearch.eventbrite.comIf you are a Family History Consultant or Priesthood Leader, but not yet registered, you can go to http://consultant.familysearch.org and sign up so you are eligible to attend classes.
The classes are offered on Tues, Thurs, and Sat starting Feb 7th to March 27th. Right now the Feb 7th and Feb 12th classes are full. The hours and length of time of the classes vary. You will see that some classes are 1 hour long and others are 6 1/2 hours long. The actually class "How Consultant's Support the new FamilySearch" - that is important to me - so I can get live access to NFS is really just an hour long.
Here is some information you might want to know:
Benefits
- Understand the family history consultant’s role in broadening member participation in family history and temple work.
- Gain the knowledge needed to help members readily identify and submit ancestors for temple ordinances.
- Learn how to use the new FamilySearch before it is released to your temple district.
- Discover what assistance is available through FamilySearch Worldwide Support and the Family History Library.
Please be aware that classes are being held in three locations: Family History Library, the Museum of Church History and Art and the Joseph Smith Memorial Building - FamilySearch Center. Not every class is offered every time. You are not required to take the classes in order.
