FamilySearch and My Ancestors Found Team Up to Sponsor the 4th Annual Family
History EXPO in St. George, Utah.



MORGAN, UTAH - FamilySearch and My Ancestors Found (MAF) announce the 4th
annual Family History EXPO in St. George, Utah, February 8-9, 2008. The EXPO
(formerly known as the Genealogy and Family Heritage Jamboree) has become
one of the largest and best attended family history events in the country.



Paul Nauta, Manager of Public Affairs, FamilySearch (TM) says, "I look
forward to seeing you again in February 2008 in St. George. It appears your
family history expositions continue to grow and succeed. We're happy to be
involved and look forward to participating as a sponsor in 2008."



"Working with FamilySearch is a natural, since our organizations share
similar goals. FamilySearch works to preserve access to the world's
important record collections and MyAncestorsFound.com serves to teach
researchers how to evaluate the surviving source documents that mention
ancestors," says Holly Hansen, MAF President.



"The proliferation of indexes and scanned images on the web means
genealogists must learn to sift through the information overload. Based on
the 100+ course materials compiled for the syllabus, attendees of the Family
History EXPO can expect to come away with increased knowledge, enthusiasm,
and products designed to catapult them forward in their search for answers
to family history questions." Holly continues "The large exhibit hall will
feature thousands of family history items demonstrated by experts from as
far away as Hawaii, Connecticut, California, Illinois, Arizona, Utah,
Washington, Maryland, New Jersey, Florida, Idaho, and England. Additional
sponsors include WorldVitalRecords.com, Ancestry.com, Family Tree Magazine,
Footnote.com, DearMYRTLE.com, GenerationMaps.com, and Godfrey Memorial
Library."
