FEEFHS Conferences



Joe Everett shares his knowledge of online records in the Research Essentials track at the FEEFHS workshop in Salt Lake City in 2013.

The first FEEFHS Conference was held in Salt Lake City in 1994.
Since then FEEFHS has held 22 conferences and workshops in 11 cities in Canada and the United States featuring speakers with expertise in Eastern European genealogical research. Each conference or workshop has provided participants the opportunity to receive expert instruction, exchange ideas, network at events, and share discoveries.

Since 2010 FEEFHS has held the program in Salt Lake City, where participants are able to access records at the nearby Family History Library and receive more personalized attention.
