     The regular monthly meetings of the Utah Valley PAF Users Group are held on the second Saturday of each month, except December, from 9 AM to noon. The meetings are free and open to the public. They are held at 4000 North 650 East (Timpview Drive) in Provo, Utah usually in the Cultural Hall. This building is known in the neighborhood as the "red church" and is just a few blocks north of Timpview High School on the east side of the street. If you would like to receive email notification of upcoming meetings, go to the our blog page for instructions on how to subscribe.

The Agenda

      The meetings are always open to the public and generally open with announcements that include what is happening in technology that effects family history work. A featured guest speaker will then make a one hour presentation on a topic of general interest relating to some aspect of computers and genealogy. The list of past and future main presentations is available. 

      Following the general session 8 to 10 classes are taught relating to computing and genealogy. These are at all levels from beginning to advanced and typically include classes about various features of PAF, FamilySearch, RootsMagic, Legacy, Ancestral Quest other genealogy programs and instruction for using the Internet for Family History work. The classes vary from month to month. There is a list of teachers and their specialties on the Officers and Volunteers page. This list includes contact information in case you have a question. A few of the teachers have provided class outlines or summaries for some of their classes. 

      Additional class outlines for weekday courses of varying length are also listed online. The Class Outlines page includes a listing of all courses and when they are taught. Each course has links to its class outlines. 

      Eileen Phelps, Editor of the UVPAFUG's monthly Newsletter, PAFology, and Gerry Eliason, Membership Secretary will have copies of the current issue available for distribution to members at a table in the corner of the Cultural Hall. Following the meeting unclaimed copies of the newsletter are mailed to the contributing members.
