In the same file is a powerpoint that you can start and stop and take notes - It looks like it is just for consultants - but honestly, we are using the same deck to train members.

Also - there is a .pdf on How do I begin?  That might be helpful.  At any rate, please let us know what you liked and if you see a way we can improve it for others, please write to us at naswfamilyhistory@gmail.com


You can always try the new page at family search.  It's for everyone, not just consultants.
