Take an Online Family History Class – It’s Easy!

January 12, 2021

If you are a frequent visitor to the Granite Family History Center website, you are probably aware that the Family History Center is closed except for special appointments, but you may not know that we are starting our winter classes today (January 12, 2021).

Through much of 2020, online classes were taught and you could join the class while it was being taught, or could have viewed the class, posted to the website later. New classes available January through March are now posted, along with links to join the classes, on the Granite FHC website.
