What’s New in The Family History Guide
It has been a busy summer for The Family History Guide Association! Here are a few of the notable events that happened in the past month:
BYU Education Week
This popular annual event on the Brigham Young University campus was held August 21-23. The Family 
History Guide was represented with a booth where we gave demos and answered questions. Scott Anderson, a popular Education Week speaker and our Director of Public Relations, gave several presentations to packed halls, and he wove the story of The Family History Guide into each of them. His enthusiasm for family history and the good that it does in the world was definitely contagious!
