Consultant Training at the Family History Library:

Below is the available class schedule, at the Family History Library, through the end of December 2007.  

PLEASE NOTE - about the Nov. 9 and 10 Open House that was held: We plan on trying to make all of these sessions and materials available as soon as possible.  We have an exciting new way to export this material.  Some of this material is already available to those currently on the new FamilySearch, and will be available to you when your Temple District becomes live.  This Open House was to promote the FHL to the local Consultants as their Regional Center in these 3 Temple Districts (Salt Lake, Bountiful, and Jordan River).
