The Celebration Event
A Celebration of Family History took place on April 29, 2010, at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. During this event, award-winning author David McCullough and President Henry B. Eyring of the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spoke to an audience of thousands interested in family history. The program included musical numbers by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square and several inspiring video presentations showing the impact that family history can have on individual lives.
Due to the positive response to A Celebration of Family History, FamilySearch has made this DVD of the event available. The talks, music, and films can be played as a single program, or the pieces can be viewed individually. These presentations will inspire those looking for additional insights into family history.
