The Place of Vital Records in Family History Research (February 26, 2025)

Image
Family Historians rely on Vital Records for many of the details that are needed to complete the research on their ancestors.  When available, Vital Records, should be your go-to records.  This presentation will explain what Vital Records are, why we seek them out, challenges in using them, what specifically can be found in them, when we can't find them - the records we can substitute for them, and a FamilySearch tool - Guided Research - that makes finding Vital Records in select areas easy for everyone.

The class this time was "Temple Ordinances Reviewed and Explained." We covered many of the new wrinkles in the reservation process, various ways to accomplish finding a relative to take to the temple and explained some of the frequently misunderstood rules and regulations that patrons find confusing.  All in all, this is a great class to attend. It also includes some brand new programs that you probably haven't heard of.  Watch and find out something new! Link to the Video    Link to the PDF of the slides
