The next meeting of the UVTAGG (Utah Valley Technology and Genealogy Group - Formerly the Utah Valley PAF Users Group) will be on Saturday, 13 May 2017, from 9 am to noon in the LDS "Red Chapel", 4050 North Timpview Drive (650 East), Provo. This is the regular 2nd Saturday-of-the-month meeting.

This presentation includes several newer case studies and explains why reasonably exhaustive research isn't accomplished when using only FamilySearch.org .

Over 400 videos are archived on DearMYRTLE's YouTube Channel . A speaker at regional and national conferences including live videocasts at RootsTech 2011 and 2012, Myrt is co-founder of the Genea-Quilters group on Facebook, and founder of www.GeneaWebinars.com , a centralized calendar and blog for all known genealogy webinar hosts and virtual presenters.
