Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and his wife, Sister Susan Bednar, will be the featured speakers at the popular Family Discovery Day for the upcoming RootsTech 2019 conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.
They will speak Saturday, March 2, at the free, one-day event geared specifically toward families and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Sharing from “a wealth of knowledge and family history experiences,” Elder and Sister Bednar’s message will help audiences make new connections to family history, according to the December 17 RootsTech announcement.
In addition to the Bednars’ remarks, Family Discovery Day 2019 will offer opportunities for attendees to experience the interactive expo hall and attend classes centered on how to find and prepare family names for temple ordinance work.
