FAMILY HISTORY FUN

https://www.familysearch.org/en/rootstech/

There are over 200 classes/presentations available  for one year.  

Over the past 5 years there have been many changes to Family search. Coordinating with family to get the work done has been redefined. Some of the changers have been, not receiving your temple cards back after doing ordnances, having to have appointments for temple attendance, temples being closed etc. 

With these changes are new ways to do temple work that have been developed. One that is wonderful is settling up a personal temple list for family and friends. This is a new way of sharing names that is wonderful and simple. These names are shared by your invitation only. Only you as administrator and those invited can get access to the names.

Steps are:

1-Open family search to your tree

2- On the upper right corner is your name, click on it to bring up a drop down box and click on “Family Groups”

3- Then click on “Create group”

4-Fill out boxes, giving the group a name, rules and group description and a photo or picture. Then check the box with rules agreement, and push create group.

5-Once the page is created you can go on your temple list or ancestor personal page under ordinances and push share, then choose the group and the name is moved to your group.

6-Push button “Invite members” and start adding names of friends and family with their email. An email invite is then sent to them.

7-They need to accept the invitation (give them a heads up that an email is coming prior to the invite. Sometimes it does go to junk)

8-When they accept the email invitation, an admit button will appear by their name on the group page you have set up. You admit by pushing “Admit” button.

9-They then access the list of names by going on their Family Search page and open it by the drop down box on their name in the right hand corner. They choose ordnances they would like to do.

10-When ordinances are completed you receive a notice.
