HINT OF THE WEEK: With more than 250 million memorials created since 1995, Find A Grave remains the largest cemetery site. Most entries include photos and many add genealogical notes. http://www.findagrave.com
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "Family History builds bridges to the temple. Family History work leads us to the temple. Family History and temple work are one work. The words Family History should probably never be said without attaching the word temple to them. Family History research should be the primary source of names for temple ordinances, and temple ordinances are the primary reason for Family History research." (Dennis B Neuenschwander, "Bridges and Eternal Keepsakes." Ensign, May 1999, p. 84-85)
