Fresno North Stake FamilySearch Center Training

This was an exciting topic: "Joining and Using a Ward Group at FamilySearch."   If you have a working family group at FamilySearch you have already discovered the ease at which ordinance reservations can be shared between family members. These groups really simplify this process.  Now we want to show you how on a ward level you can set up a group at FamilySearch to facilitate the completion of ordinances for those who need help completing them.  Here is how sisters or brothers can easily share reservations and those who are willing can take and complete them.  No more passing out of cards or keeping charts of who has what.  The system will help you do this.  This is also a place for those who have excess baptism and confirmation reservations can share them with the youth. This class needs to be seen by every Ward Temple and Family History Leader and the counselors over T&FH in the Relief Society and Elders Quorum.

  This is a topic that can be of value to all of us.  Have you ever started your tree from Scratch?  This class will walk you through the process starting with gathering family records, suggestions of traps to avoid, and walking you through the process using the tree at FamilySearch.  Many of us as consultants have never had to do this for ourselves as our tree was already built - this class will allow you to see the process from the get-go.  For others who may have just been called and don't have a tree - it will show you how to get started.  Regardless, as consultants we all will be faced with this over and over as we help new patrons get started.
