Catching up... family history and summer carnival!

Sorry I'm behind on posting pics and info from our activities.

Here are some pictures and info from a Family History Night we had in June. Thanks Bri for teaching our class! Family History Resources:

New.familysearch.org
To register you need your Membership Number (located on your temple recommend) and confirmation date. You can get both of these from the ward clerk. Just ask for your membership record.
FamilySearch helps to prepare to perform temple ordinances for their ancestors.
Contains the information about you and your family that has already been inputted into other systems maintained by the Church.
Is NOT a search tool.
Wiki.familysearch.org
On-line library where you can find thousands of articles and how-to instructions about doing family history
Labs.familysearch.org
The Family Tree.
Similar to New FamilySearch but is currently being beta tested. You cannot prepare your temple ordinances from here.
Familysearchindexing.org
Help the church transcribe microfilmed public records into searchable texts available online.
lds.org
Go to “Serving in the Church” tab and choose “Family History” from the drop down.
Contains general information.
