Using the FamilySearch AI Full-Text Search (January 22, 2025)

This experiment in the FamilySearch Labs is a real game-changer in that it unlocks a host of new unindexed records to every word searching.  Most of us who use this can all testify to the wonderful new "finds" that have been uncovered by using this remarkable tool.  Join us and learn the ins and outs of searching with this program.  The resources that can be searched with AI Full-Text Search have grown dramatically in the last couple of months making it even more essential that we become proficient in the use of this tool.

The Newly Clarified Temple Submission Policy (January 8, 2025)

Image
 FamilySearch made some significant changes to the temple submission program and it is wise that we spend some time right at the start of the year reviewing this.  Some of you have probably already studied this but there will be others that are not even aware of these changes. Since these changes can impact every user that submits names to the temple is it important that we know these policies for our own use and for the benefit of all we work with.
