Indexing Training at Riverton FamilySearch Library

Yesterday a group of thirteen people from my ward attended FamilySearch indexing training at Riverton FamilySearch Library. We viewed a powerpoint presentation which explained the indexing program and then we each logged into a computer with our LDS Account usernames and passwords and did some indexing. Thank you to the staff of the Riverton Library for their help and assistance to get many of us started doing this important and interesting service.

Riverton Family History Library

On Saturday April 16, 2010 I attended the Saturday Seminar at the Riverton Family History Library. The key note speaker was Tim Cross who spoke about ways for ward family history consultants to introduce members to New Family Search and to pique their interest in family history. He introduced me to Tree Seek where family tree charts can be printed out for no cost. Tree Seek links to your New Family Search account and takes the information for the pdf charts from your database in New Family Search. I applied what I learned on Sunday April 17 by printing off some of my own charts. I taught my husband how to do it (for practice) and then I went to a ward member's house and got her signed up for New Family Search and helped her print off a nine-generation chart.

At the Riverton Saturday Seminar I also attended a class on English Research taught by Raymon Naisbitt and a class on New England Research taught by Jason B. Harrison. These presentations were very interesting and I am excited to do research in England and New England as I have time.
