MARK YOUR CALENDARS

Update worth marking your calendars for: The St. George Regional Family History Training Center and WCPAFUG are sponsoring the following presentations.....
ANCESTRAL QUEST, FAMILY INSIGHT AND ROOTS MAGIC 4. These three programs have worked closely with FamilySearch to become a Certified Affliate of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints newFamilySearch program.
As part of preparaton for Utah using the New FamilySearch we all need to understand the changes that come with that in our software. Currently these three companies are certified to work with FamilySearch.
FamilySearch Certified Affiliates are thrid-party companies and organizatons that provide products and services with features that are compatible with FamilySearch programs. Certification indicates the affiliates declaration of compliance with FamilySearch requirements. Note that these producst and services are independently devoloped and supported by their respective organizations, not by FamilySearch.

If it highly recommended that you attend all three of these presentations before making your choice for the product which will best suit your needs in syncing with the newFamilySearch-Family Tree.

PAF users have gone thru, will PAF stay or will PAF go? What other programs will work using our currant PAF files? Will they be user friendly? What other options will these programs give us? We may like PAF and are not eager to go into another program.

Attending these 3 presentations will give you an insight to making a move over and still having your current PAF files.

FAMILY INSIGHT (previously PAFInsight) - John Vilburn of FamilyInsight will present how new FamilyInsight program will work and what options it has. This will be held on Saturday, March 14th, 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at the LDS Church - 85 South 400 East.
