Burley FamilySearch Center Happenings: March 2024

Searching for Something Special!

Check out these options....

How about a Special Learning Option- from home via Zoom Classes

We had some zoom classes taught at our Expo in February. Cameron has been teaching some classes via zoom for the last few weeks. Some of these classes were recorded. All of Cameron's classes in the future will be on zoom and recorded. We hope to include other instructors with some zoom classes in the coming weeks and months. As the zoom recordings are processed and uploaded to YouTube, we will be including those videos on the "Zoom Class Replays" page available from the blog tabs above. So if you can't make it to the center to watch these classes, you can zoom them live while they happen. The links for the zoom classes will be shown on the calendar. The calendar is also shown on the blog tabs above for ease in finding the links. If you just can't make it or watch the class via zoom, wait for a bit and we'll get the link to the replay uploaded to the blog page.

If you have specific classes you would like to see, just let the center know and we will do our best to accommodate your requests. Or we'll try to find one for you online if we aren't capable of doing that class. We look forward to "seeing" you at the center in person, or on zoom! See the new "Calendar" tab above for ease in getting to the calendar for the zoom links.

How about a Special Service Option

Do you have a desire to serve in Temple and Family History, but not available to do on a full time mission? There's options available to work from home- and not just the missionaries whom answer the questions via phone. Providing the ability to grow the tree in fun and exciting ways. Or maybe a mission doesn't fit your personal situations at this time, your tree seems full, but you still want to be involved with family history- come learn more about serving a VROC mission, using Goldie May to add people and sources to FamilySearch and what the Record Linking Lab is all about. Something for everyone! Tammy will be offering this class on April 1st.... no fooling! A chance to make a difference and to feel the spirit more in your life as your serve others!
