SOCCGS 7th Annual Research Trip (March 26-April 2, 2023) – Reservations are now open!
Join us for our seventh annual week-long research trip to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.
Seven nights at the Salt Lake Plaza hotel (next door to the Family History Library). For full details, see the information page on the SOCCGS website.
You must be a SOCCGS member to participate in the trip.
The SOCCGS Genealogy Research Center is OPEN!
The SOCCGS Genealogy Research Center is open, and Docents are on duty (Times Docents are available) to help you with your genealogy research.
We expect that many of you will be eager to access those locked records on FamilySearch and our other databases, which we haven’t been able to use for the last year. To avoid long waits to use the computers, we have set up an online appointment system for our two genealogy computers.
To make an appointment for our genealogy computers, go to https://collecting404s.com/computer-reservations/ or click on the drop-down menu for the Research Center from the black menu bar at the top of our website, and then choose Computer Reservations.
