One of the most enjoyable experiences we have in The Family History Guide Association is from those who are new to the website. We love seeing reactions from them and listening to their comments as they discover The Family History Guide. In March we had many of these experiences in person at RootsTech 2024 in Salt Lake City, and recently we got plenty of comments online as we attended the virtual NGS (National Genealogical Society) Conference.

We’ve included some of these below for your reading pleasure. If you have friends or family who might benefit from The Family History Guide, feel free to share the site with them.
