FORT WALTON BEACH — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will present the 2018 Northwest Florida Family History Fair.
The three-part seminar, which is free to attend, is 9 a.m. to noon March 3 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Stake Center, 339 Lake Drive, Fort Walton Beach.
Among the presenters are Tom and Irene Price, of Rexburg, Idaho, who have trained people in the art of family history since November 2015. In 2016 they gave 94 presentations to about 1,000 people. They are two LDS senior volunteers who devote 18 months and more of their lives to serving others.
Also presenting information is Ersula Knox Odom, an author. The Tampa resident's training session is "Stop Throwing your Legacy into the Trash!" She'll give advice on what to do with seemingly insignificant items when cleaning, downsizing or moving.
She asks that fair attendees bring their "favorite of all time picture," or one of someone else who is special to you.
