Eternal Reminder

In 2015 our stake accepted an area challenge for every ward member to find a name to take to the temple. The catch was that we had only 6 weeks to complete the challenge, which naturally was during the busy months of November and December. I had 16 new Family History Specialists to train in one Sunday so they could help with the challenge. I developed Find Take Teach 1 in two days with a lot of divine inspiration. We were greatly blessed and we met the challenge with wonderful success with a 42% submission rate. Find Take Teach 1 has essentially stayed the same.

On the other hand, Find Take Teach 2-Finding New Families took a year to develop. I kept trying to do it the FamilySearch way but it was just too hard for a beginner. I finally tossed out all preconceived ideas and developed this final version. I feel much more comfortable with it. I know it seems pretty simple when a genealogist looks at it but it wasn't originally. It is still a bit challenging for a beginner to do without moral support from someone with experience.

If you find yourself in ENGLAND, you will want to watch Kathryn Grants short videos on finding the wife's maiden name and finding missing children.
