Have you all tried the new Family Search program? It's AWESOME!!! Here's what I like about it...
- It's a very easy way of finding out what information the church already has on record about you and your ancestors and what work still needs to be done.
- You and your relatives see the same information about individuals and families. You can easily work together to evaluate the information. You can add new information and make corrections in one place, and everyone can see them.
- When an individual’s temple ordinances are done, that information is added to the same place. This eliminates the risk of temple ordinances being done more than once for an individual and his or her family.
- This new family search program is extremely easy to navigate. I figured out the gist of it in about 3 minutes and I'm happy to say that I already found my first family name to bring to the temple. Yeah!!!

Do you want a challenge? Once your registered, time yourself and see how fast you can get a family name ready for temple ordinances. Let me know how long it took you. (My time was approx. 30 min, and I thought that all of the work was done for the ancestors that we knew about.)
I think I found this as easy as you did and was starting to wonder if we really want to take that class. I got the idea the other day that the class was just on how to use the web site. So we might not need it. But if it's on how to research, I'm definitly still in. What do you think? I didn't time myself but it was definitly user friendly
ReplyDeleteHey, I just took your challenge. I thought all the work on my dad's side was done (my mom's side gets a little sketchy) but there were a few people who fell through the cracks I guess, because I found someone in like 2 minutes. My husband and I are really into family history work, but its been hard to know whats been done and what hasn't. This is going to be a huge help!
ReplyDeleteThank you Maria! I think you are right about Tyler. Oops. :) I was also in orchestra and Full Orchestra (with the band) so maybe that was it? Regardless, thank you so much for the explanation!
