Research Retreats: A Popular Way to Trace and Prove your Family Tree

By popular request, Holly Hansen and Family History Expos are sponsoring a monthly series of Research Retreats at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City UT.  And I will be both a research consultant and an instructor at each one.  If you come, I will take you by the hand and lead you to your ancestors–along with the other consultants:
