FEEFHS Conferences



Dee Semon shares her knowledge of German parish registers at the FEEFHS workshop in Salt Lake City in 2010.

The first FEEFHS Conference was held in Salt Lake City in 1994. Since then FEEFHS has had 16 conferences and workshops in 11 cities in Canada and the United States. These events included speakers with expertise in Eastern European genealogical research and a chance for genealogists with common research problems to meet and rub shoulders, exchange ideas and share discoveries.

Future workshops will be held in Salt Lake City every summer, and will tie in with the vast collection at the world's largest family history library.
