Searching for Great-Grandpa

March 20, 2022

Last month while serving my shift, I invited a friend to join me at the Family History Center. Her tree has many blanks in it giving us opportunities to find more family members and add them to FamilySearch Family Tree. Unfortunately, the previous generations of her family were very poor and there are not many records. Many relatives… Read More Searching for Great-Grandpa

One day I took some women to the Family History Center. One was not a member of the church who was visiting from Florida.

The Joy of a Green Temple

November 29, 2021

I was working my shift at the Granite Family History Center and a brother came in just as I was free to help.
