BACK TO SCHOOL… FamilySearch Style!
School bells are ringing, pencils are sharpened, and class is about to begin. But this time, we’re heading Back to School with our ancestors. Join us for our next FamilySearch Training Meeting on Tuesday, September 8, 6:30 p.m., as we discover the fascinating world of school records and yearbooks online. You may uncover class photos, graduation records, school activities, clubs, sports teams—or even a long-forgotten photograph of an ancestor with a hairstyle they hoped would never be seen again.
Lesson for the evening: Discovering School Records & Yearbooks Online. Come ready to learn how these wonderful records can add faces, personalities, friendships, accomplishments, and stories to the names and dates on our family trees. No homework. No pop quizzes. No tardy slips. Just bring your curiosity and your love of family history. The bell is ringing—don’t be late for this FamilySearch training. Let’s go BACK TO SCHOOL and see what our ancestors left behind in the pages of history.
See you on September 8 instead of September 1. The Preston Idaho South Stake building will be closed all day on September 1, while it receives a refreshing power wash and deep cleaning. So, to all those scheduled to serve that day—consider it a well-earned day off. Relax, recharge, and enjoy the unexpected break.
Our FamilySearch training, scheduled for Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., is for all Temple and Family History Consultants, Leaders, and anyone interested in gathering their family on both sides of the veil. President Russell M. Nelson taught that the gathering of Israel is "the greatest challenge, the greatest cause, and the greatest work on the earth today."
Thank you for your flexibility, gayle and garth porter
