Task #4 

 

 A.  How to attach Source or Hint


On May 30th during the adult fifth Sunday, I tried to demonstrate how to

 attach a source or use the hint.   This is a great way to start researching

 on FamilySearch.org   Using sources and hints is an effective way to get

 to know your ancestors and some of the records where they are listed.  

 I have found several new people who were left off of the FamilySearch 

Family Tree and are present in these sources.    It is also a way to start to 

learn what records are and what records are available on FamilySearch.   

Hint or Tasks in FamilySearch can be a quick and easy way to do just a few 

minutes of family history.  It is possible to ignore or skip a hint if it does not 

make sense.   In attaching hints I have also found lost people.   Sometimes 

our four generation pedigree only included our direct line ancestor.   I have 

had multiple experiences where the hints lead to another sibling or missing 

person in the family tree.    I would like to challenge you to do at least 3 hints 

this week.   Hints and Tasks can make family history become more user 

friendly. 

 

            Here are some sample videos. 

  1. Video about Sources

  2. attach record hint 5 min

  3. Attaching hints off of the time line.



    Here are some documents from FamilySearch

B. How to use Google Photos

 

 Many people use Google Photos to organize their children, vacation or holiday photos.

It is an easy way to share and a nice place to have a backup copy of pictures.  

 I saw a cute post on social media recently where the mother highlighted her child

 growing up with photos.   She used google photos to honor her child, and appeared

 (was) very organized.  My sister has been making home videos digital and sharing

 those with all of us through Google drive.  One of the advantages of living in this 

digital and technological time is that we can use the resources to share values and

stories.  Google photos can be used also with sharing Family History pictures. 

Dorothy Nielsen is a great example of using Google photos with her descendants and 

ancestors.   I asked her to help me find information to share the idea and she found this 

document from Family Search and the Youtube video on using Google photos in

 FamilySearch.

 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 fa...

                          Welcome to Week #2   These both are fun activities to complete.    A     MEMORIES: PICTURES, DOCUMENTS, AUDIO FILES Adding Memories to the living and the deceased is a fun way to do family history; it compares to journaling or scrap booking.  FamilySearch is uploading and maintaining all of the information and the data storage facility that we can use as a resource.  A few years ago, I had an incredible experience where my daughter would ask for a bedtime story about an Ancestor.   I have some that are just in my head.   But she requested several nights in a row and wanted a different one every  night.   So I had the thought to pull out my phone and just read her some stories off of Family Search;  it was on the ancestor’s memories page where I could find a quick story. I could chose an ancestor and then click on their pict...
