ACTIVITIES
STORytelling
Stories help us to relate to others, to find understanding of their experiences and empathy for them and their situation. We have invited several individuals, including veterans, in our community to share with us their stories
Fast & mini-classes
New to FamilySearch and family history? Want to learn the difference and correlations between FamilySearch and Ancestry apps? Please swing by our Fast Class tables to learn more and while there sign up for our mini-classes for additional information.
RECORDING oral histories
Have you ever wished you could have heard about your grandma’s first day of school in her own words? Recording your oral history allows you to preserve your own story. Learn how to use the FamilySearch Oral history feature.
Sharing family culture through food
Food is central to many aspects of our lives and can represent our culture and become core parts of our identities. Recipes and dishes passed down through generations and their sights, smells and taste connect us with our ancestral heritage. Sign up here to share your family’s food culture
Fun for the full family
Learn what kind of games your grandparents or great-grandparents played as children or children’s songs that were popular when your parents were in school. Create your very own family crest. Participate in the FamilySearch scavenger hunt and much more!
Familysearch center
Join our FamilySearch volunteers to learn about the FamilySearch Center and what kind of services are offered there.
