July 2011 Newsletter: The Sacramento Regional Family History Center

I just received the July 2011 newsletter from the Sacramento Regional Family History Center (SRFHC).  How convenient that it comes directly to my inbox.

Below are selected items from the current newsletter.  The newsletter also has Family History Tips, Favorite Websites and a newsletter Subscribe option.  Kudos to Linda Todd and Linda Lucky for this wonderful service to the genealogical community - I recommend readers go to SRFHC website for more information and subscribe.

On-Line Film Ordering Process begins AUGUST 2nd
There has been a change in the implementation date for ON-LINE FILM ORDERING. Our Family History Center is scheduled to start the on-line film ordering process on August 2nd.  Patron training classes are scheduled at the Family History Center as follows:
  • Tuesday, July 19th at 10am & 2pm in the Relief Society Room
