"NEW FAMILY SEARCH"
For years we have been encouraged to:
1. Complete our "Four Generation Family Group Sheets" and submit to the Church Family History Center.
2. Do additional research on our family lines and extend them as far as possible, and submit as above.
3. Perform Temple Ordinance work where not previously done.
“New Family Search" was developed to combine all the above records and others into one file, eliminate duplicate submissions to the Temple, and to simplify how we submit names to the Temple for performance of Ordinance work.
Our primary goal for 2010 is to "CLEAN UP THE FILES AND RECORDS" that have been
combined in "New Family Search". There may be many duplicates in the combined files, and our
current goal is to review, combine, add missing information, correct, and connect family lines that are in the system but not necessarily tied to your family tree. A wonderful by product is to harvest any of our ancestry whose Temple Ordinance work has not been completed. We are hoping many of these names can be taken to the Temple on our Ward Temple day on June 9th. We will continue this "Take an Ancestor to the Temple" throughout the year. We have established a Ward Family History Consulting Committee made up of trained and experienced fellow Ward Members, who will come to your home and "One on One" help you get into the "New Family Search" to do as described above. This cleanup assist program will remain our
goal for 2010. We will assess our progress as the year matures. Some Research will be part of this phase also.
"RESEARCH" to continue to extend our family lines will then become our emphasis in the future. We are continuing our emphasis on the "INDEXING" program under the direction of Dale K. and invite your participation in this very meaningful program. Thank you for the opportunity to work with our fellow Ward members in these great programs.
