Temple and Family History Lesson 12: Family Search Partners

Image
  Temple and Family History Lesson 12 Family Search Partners   One of the significant benefits of having an account on Family Search for members of the church is free access to a number of powerful websites dedicated to genealogical research and record keeping.   At present there are six principal sites that church members can have free access to; Ancestry.com, Findmypast. MyHeritage, AmericanAncestors, Filae, and Geneanet. The easiest way to join these partner sites is to open a new web page at the following address; https://www.familysearch.org/campaign/partneraccess/ .   These sites can also be reached by opening your Family Search account and scrolling to the very bottom of the opening page to the link called “Solutions Gallery”.   Here the partners are listed in individual windows where you can click on them to proceed to the new-account page of each.   Some of the partner links will be found in additional pages by clicking on the word “More”...

Temple and Family History Lesson 9: Submitting Names for Temple Ordinances

  Temple and Family History Lessons Lesson 6 Memories   In Lesson 5 we considered the task of adding persons to the Family Search Family Tree by using the “Add” tools on the ‘Person Page’.  In this lesson we will learn how to add memories such as photos, documents, and stories to the Person Page. The Church, the creator of ‘Family Search’, intends for this site to be much more than a repository for the world’s genealogy.   The expression used to identify this work in the church is “Family History”, rather than ‘Genealogy’, because it is hoped that members seek out the histories of their ancestors rather than just names, dates, and places.  This intent is nowhere more visible than in the provision on the Person Page for saving all kinds of historical information pertaining to the ancestor.  The name of this history-saving place is called “Memories”.  This name is fitting because, if you ask what kinds of things should be added to this p...
