Categories: S, H
Talk Abstract:
Mobile devices are all around us with smartphones, tablets, and other devices. We use them for communicating, playing games and maybe keeping our calendar up-to-date. However, many don’t realize all of the ways that they can help in our genealogy research. Come with us as we explore some of the many ways that one might make the most of the power behind these devices.
Speaker Bio:

He is currently serving as President of the Utah Genealogical Association (UGA). He is a graduate of the National Institute on Genealogical Research and the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy. As a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild he has been a presenter and teacher for groups ranging from just a few to several hundred participants.
