The LDS's large Family History Center in Mesa, a Phoenix suburb, is still closed but they are offering classes and online access at their training center. They are also having their annual January genealogy how-to conference, this year on the Maricopa County Community College's Red Mountain campus. I've never been to one and Mayflower is not their specialty, but I understand that the topics vary a great deal because the email announcement said that attendees can choose from 7 different classes each hour (in a 7-hour day.) The event is Saturday, January 21st, 9:00-4:20, and registration opens on Thursday, Dec. 15th. The link in the email is to "mesafsl.org" so presumably that is where you go to register.

Update: Registration is now open. Classes relevant to Mayflower genealogy include how to use the NEHGS & its site ("americanancestors.org"), probate records, church records, Civil War pension files, and newspapers; Canadian genealogy; and PA research. The latter 2 places were on paths of outmigration from MA.
