What do William Shakespeare, Leonardo da Vinci, Betsy Ross, and Harriet Beecher Stowe have in common? They are all ancestors of people living today, perhaps in Northern Utah. Attend the free Ogden Family History Conference, entitled Of Roots and Branches, on Saturday, September 12th and learn how to discover who your ancestors are. There will be classes for beginners and advanced researchers, with many classes discussing new online genealogical sites and cutting-edge digital programs.

Marlin Jensen, former historian for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and his wife Kathy Jensen, former Weber County Mother of the Year, will be co-keynote speakers at 8:30 a.m.
The conference is sponsored by Ogden FamilySearch Library and the Weber State History Department and will be held in the Weber State University's Shepherd Union Building, with free parking and free access to cutting-edge vendor displays.
