It’s time to start planning for a trip to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City the first week of December! This is an invitation to join us on the 28th annual Salt Lake Christmas Tour. This year it is begin held from December 2 through the 8th, with most of the group flying in on Sunday, December 2, and flying out on Sunday, December 9.
As many of you know, the Salt Lake Christmas Tour is the genealogy research trip where you can find ancestors quickly. Now in its 28th year, the Tour is renowned for the genealogy research success of its attendees, many of whom come back year after year.
One of the major advantages of the Salt Lake Christmas Tour is that there is no waiting for microfilm to be shipped from afar. If you don’t find your family on one film, just move on to another! If your ancestors aren’t mentioned in one book, there are often dozens more in which you may find them! It’s genealogy research at its finest!
There are numerous trips to The Family History Library, sponsored by genealogical societies and commercial firms. However, The Salt Lake Christmas Tour has been highly successful because we have the highest ratio of professional researchers to attendees of any genealogy research tour using the Family History Library. You’ve always got the help you need to overcome your difficult research problems! You can research your ancestors with the help of our experienced professional genealogists. The Salt Lake Christmas Tour is known for the quality of the professional genealogists that work with the attendees on a daily basis – Monday through Saturday.
The Christmas Tour typically has professional genealogists available for consultation from 9 am until near the time when the library closes. Professionals currently planning to work the 2012 Tour are: Lisa A. Alzo, Linda Brinkerhoff, Arlene Eakle, Billy Edgington, Loni Gardner, Kevan Hansen, Wade Hone, Stan Lindaas, George Ott, Dwight Radford, Ruth Maness, and Trudy Schenk. The Salt Lake Christmas Tour is led by Leland K. Meitzler, Donna Potter Phillips and Bill Balter.
Thomas MacEntee will again be spending the Salt Lake Christmas Tour with us, teaching a total of 10 workshops and classes. Check out his lecture line-up at the Salt Lake Christmas Tour website.
