BYU Family History Library Weekday Classes

 

https://fh.lib.byu.edu/classes-and-webinars/family-history-classes/

The BYU Family History Library is expanding its classes on weekdays. This is in addition to the Sunday Classes and Thursday evening webinars. Here is a copy of the current schedule but check the website (https://fh.lib.byu.edu/classes-and-webinars/family-history-classes/) for any additions or changes to the class schedule. Because the BYU Family History Library is part of the main Harold B. Lee Library on campus, we are subject to the academic schedule of school and holidays. 

Here are the upcoming classes.
