Riverton 6th Family History

LET'S GET TO KNOW FAMILYSEARCH   Task and Week #3.   Hello Friends,    So this week we wanted to just do some basic get to know FamilySearch.org.   There is so much  information and many resources on FamilySearch.   The following pages are some of the simple  things and ways to learn about an ancestor in the shared family tree.   The app and the website  have a lot of interesting information on our ancestors.   It is so great to see things that we never  knew existed.        This is a picture of my great great grandfather.   I have heard stories of him all of my life but never seen a younger picture of him, until it was added to Family Search by someone I do not know.   It is a great place to learn more because there is sharing.       Basic Overview of FamilySearch Person pages.     A.     Getting to know the different pages Overview of Person Page 5 min .    Here is the explanation on Family Search Blog   about the person page.  Newbie's Guide to Navigating the FamilySearch.or

I could chose an ancestor and then click on their picture and the word memories, and find a brief story that someone else had recorded. Each ancestor and every person in FamilySearch has a memo

 This  is the newsletter that was published in mid February     Temple and Family History Newsletter: the work of Exhalation Ed.1 Vol. 3    Riverton 6th Ward        Cristi Reed   (801)-541-6715 cristi.reed@gmail.com         Temple and Family History consultant is an interesting calling to try and help individuals and our ward.   I know that Family History helps us so much, and while we cannot go to the temple as much as we would like it is a great way to feel the spirit of Elijah.   We have the idea to do a Family History task every week for ten weeks.    The leaders in the ward are hoping that if we are trying to learn simple tasks together about family history, we can have a bit of camaraderie and support.    We may also do more Family History.     I am going to send out two tasks every week.    One Task A for beginning family history and Task B for a more intermediate family I will post them on the Facebook page and also ask that Brother Kelly Anderson will include them in th
