​About Our Family History Conference

​Our Family History Conference (FHC) is program typically held in the spring with speakers covering a variety of high-interest genealogy topics. The conference strives to be interactive to maximize learning, and is aimed at all genealogy research levels – from beginners to experts. 

Our 10th annual FHC held in March 2024 featured the following external speakers and topics:

• Artificial Intelligence for Genealogy -- keynote presentation by Bonnie Bossert  
• Investigative Genetic Genealogy -- by Bonnie Bossert 
• Mamie's Love Letter:  Finding Sources and Documenting a Life -- by Kathleen Ackerman
• What Does that Document Really Say?  Analyzing Sources -- by Suzanne Brayer
• When it Takes a Village:  Applying Cluster Research Techniques -- by Emily Garber
• Tracking Your Immigrant Ancestors -- by Suzanne Brayer

​
Conference tickets typically go on sale in January. It is open to all Trilogy residents and guests; you needn't be a club member attend.

In 2025, we took a break from our full-day FHC and instead held a half-day learning session, or Retreat, offsite at West Valley Genealogical Society.  Speaker Suzanne Brayer kicked it off with an informative presentation on immigration, and hands-on collaborative learning followed.  The program was well-received by members and attendees. 

Our full-day FHC will resume in 2026.  To be held March 23, the theme will be From Records to Reasoning:  Building Proof Step by Step.  Watch for registration information coming soon!
