Getting Grounded as a New Temple and Family History Consultant (New Consultant Lesson 1) January 28, 2026

Image
This class takes a look at all the different places FamilySearch has located materials to help new consultants know what their calling entails.  Because these materials are not all in one place and the materials vary in content from site to site it is important that we are aware of all the places to turn for authorized support and training. We will conclude with suggestions we have found helpful as we have worked with new consultant over the years.  This class focuses on what your calling as a Consultant entails - not on the skills you need to develop.  These skills will be addressed in future lessons.  This is an excellent class for new consultants, consultants who are asked to help train new consultants, and leaders responsible for helping consultants.

How to Organize Your Ward for Temple and Family History Success (January 14, 2026)

Image
  The title of our first class in this new year is - "How to Organize Your Ward for Temple and Family History Success." Many of our wards are not fully set up to function in temple and family history work as described in the General Handbook.  This class provides them with direction and ideas to successfully organize this work of Gathering the Living and the Dead.  If your ward is one of these that needs to be jump-started, please share the link for this class with your ward leaders.
