Quick Pop Quiz:
What records are the most frequently used on the Utah State Digital Archives?
Answer:
Family History records! (Vital Records, court records, etc)
We understand that tracking down records to prove family stories is not always easy. To help with that effort, we are holding our first ever family history workshop: Finding Your Family in the Records.
At this FREE, day-long workshop, presenters will discuss the various records held in Utah repositories and how those records can be used by family historians to document and share the whole story of families. You will learn how to access public records from the Office of Vital Records, and the Courts, other state repositories. A panel session will also include local repositories discussing the records they hold.
