http://www.gentech.org/~gentech/99home.htm
January 22-23, 1999 in Salt Lake City, Utah

Conference Invitation from the President of GENTECH:
"Dear Genealogist,

For the first time ever, GENTECH, Inc. is coming to Salt Lake City,
Utah to present GENTECH99, a unique program where the discipline of
family history meets the power of new technology. In partnership
with our local host, the Utah Genealogical Association (UGA),
GENTECH99 promises to present a wide range of learning experiences
for genealogists at all levels on the technology scale.

Program and exhibit offerings have been crafted to please virtually
any technology interest. If you are just beginning your venture
into genealogy and technology, GENTECH99 can help you avoid many of
the pitfalls the experts have already experienced. If you're on the
other end of the scale and would like to learn from the technical
experts there is plenty in the program for you as well.

I would like to personally invite you to experience GENTECH99 for
yourself and see if this isn't the most exhilarating learning
experience you've ever had! I hope to see you in Salt Lake City on
22-23 January 1999.

Sincerely,
Beau Sharbrough
President, GENTECH, Inc."

An unprecedented learning experience!

Salt Lake City has long been the Mecca of the genealogical
research world. The famed Family History Library (FHL) of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is located here,
offering an accumulation of genealogical records, computer data,
and expertise without equal in the world.

You can take advantage of this vast genealogical record collection,
and put it to its best use with the aid of the knowledgeable
instruction received at the 1999 Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy.
Enjoy four to five classes per day, then spend the rest of the time
applying the information received in your own research at the FHL.
Enjoy limited class size (30 or less), no crowds in the library,
fellow students who match your experience and needs, constructive
feedback from the experts, and reduced hotel rates at the Salt Lake
Plaza Hotel (next door to the library and location of the Institute
classes).

With the imaginative courses listed below and expert subject-matter
coordinators and teachers, this promises to be An Unprecedented
Learning Experience. Our goal is to make this the most richly
rewarding educational experience you have ever had.

Respond today, classes are filling fast!
