Classes Starting!

For those people who live in the Phoenix metropolitan area, Peggy Ash and Jeanne Koniuszy will be staring classes beginning next week. 

 A link to the class schedules is here: Fall 2019 Class Schedules 
Contact information for both of us is included with the schedules. 

For those who don't know us: We served as missionaries at the Mesa FamilySearch library until it closed. Jeanne Koniuszy has a degree in Genealogy from BYU and a wealth of experience. You don't want to miss her RootsMagic classes! Peggy Ash has a certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University and has attended many conferences and institutes, including Tom Jones Advanced Methodologies course. Peggy is currently working on her accreditation and is hoping to find others who would like to do the same. 

Peggy teaches her beginners series in the fall and her research series in the spring. Jeanne's fall classes repeat in the spring.

I am also including updated times and locations for local family history centers. FYI-they would have more hours if they had more help. Please consider giving of your time if you are able! Grab a friend and have fun serving together.      AWESOME: The Kimball East FHC has portal toggles that you can connect to your own laptop to access those pesky restricted images. You can download the images right to your own computer without a flash-drive or the cloud!

The link to the updated Family History Center hours is here: 

Jeanne and I look forward to seeing you next week!
