Title: Family Search: Some Things New, Some Things Different
Description:
Come to learn what you may have missed with all the changes that have recently happened at FamilySearch.
Bio:
Marsden “Mick” Haws was born in 1943 and raised in Oakland, California with a short 4-year stint in Provo and Springville, Utah after his father returned home in September 1945 from serving in the U.S. Navy during the war years. He met his wife-to-be, Marie, while serving as a missionary in Austria. He graduated from BYU in 1968 with a B.S. degree in Psychology and received his MBA degree in 1970. His career took him as a consultant to Saudi Arabia for 10 years, with frequent travel opportunities throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa. After returning from this marvelous ten-year adventure in the Middle East, Mick and Marie settled in Eagle Mountain, Utah. In 2012, while working on his family history, he learned about service opportunities in FamilySearch Support and has enjoyed serving there since then.
He is active in Amateur Radio, Silver Sneakers, enjoys biking, and continues to develop and hone his Tai Chi skills at the Black Sash level. Mick and Marie enjoy taking trips to visit grandchildren and great grandchildren and participating in family reunions.
There will no longer be a class after the main presentation.
The meetings are always open to the public and generally open with announcements that include what is happening in technology that effects family history work. A featured guest speaker will then make a one hour presentation on a topic of general interest relating to some aspect of technology and genealogy.
