Elder Bradley D. Foster, a General Authority Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be the opening speaker at the upcoming Brigham Young University Conference on Family History and Genealogy to be held from July 31st to August 3rd at the BYU Conference Center in Provo, Utah.

In conjunction with the 50th Anniversary celebration, there will be a new exhibit called, "The Evolution of Family History" that will be displayed during the conference. Here is an outline of the classes to be held taken from the website.
