Well, last month’s escape to Arizona wasn’t as sunny as we had hoped. Still, it was great meeting with our users in the area and teaching so many classes. Hopefully we’ll have better luck finding sun when we head to southern Utah for the 6th Annual St. George Family History Expo!
We are pleased to sponsor the St. George Family History Expo on February 26-27, 2010 at the Dixie Convention Center, 1835 Convention Center Drive, St. George, Utah. Visit our booth, attend our classes, or take away one of our over $1,000 worth of prizes!
