‘Not Your Grandma’s Genealogy’
Salt Lake Family History Expo Teaches ‘Tech to Trace Your Roots’
This is not your grandma’s genealogy. Family History Expos.com Founder and President Holly T. Hansen says new techniques and technology have turned family history research into a happening industry that attracts fans from nearly every walk of life.
“You just can’t believe what’s happening out there,” Hansen said. “New developments, especially those associated with the Internet, are connecting people all over the world and bringing families together faster than we would have ever imagined.”
Family historians (and those even mildly interested in researching their roots) can learn all about the latest techniques and technology at the Salt Lake City, Utah Family History Expo, Aug. 28 and 29.
The Salt Lake City, Utah Family History Expo will be held at the South Towne Expo Center, 9575 South State Street, Sandy, Utah 84070. Free parking is available at the event venue.

Thanks for posting the information about the Salt Lake Family History Expo. I wish I lived closer to SLC but I am happy to live near the beach.
I would be happy to live by the beach too!;)
