KINGSTON JAMAICA STAKE ZOOM CALL

Meet Taneisha Francis, Family History Director 

Kingston Jamaica Stake

Taneisha loves family history and loves her Stake - She wants them to have tools to make their searches faster and easier.  We created some Jamaican tools for success - Links to Family Search, and all Partner Access points of Jamaican access in a pdf which members can keep on their desktops.  This tool will allow them to sign in to Family Search and the partners, then click on the link which will most likely give them the results that they need.   Hope to hear from you all soon - let us know how you are doing.

 Thank you so much for inviting us, Kingston Stake!  We really enjoyed preparing for this call.  We felt the spirit and felt the guidance that you need to help you in your quest to find your ancestors.  What a wonderful experience we enjoyed today.  We hope this is the first of many in our long friendship!

Mentioned on the call:  Everything you've always wanted to know about Partner Access

                                        How to link your tree in Ancestry to family Search: 

                                        I built my Tree in Ancestry, now what?

                                        Your Temple and Family History Leader can (see Handbook) assign a Consultant to the person being taught by the Missionaries.  That person can do something amazing which will help keep the person active all their lives.  By doing what Elder David A Bednar asked in the 2020 Leadership Meeting, "...all new members must go to the Temple before 60 days with their own names,", they will have what they need to keep active for the first year of membership.

                                      By having a free (member) Ancestry account, YOU can help a non-member gather names for a pedigree chart prior to baptism.  You can help them have enough names to last a full year of staying active until they can be sealed in the Temple and do their other Ordinances.  You can link their names through Ancestry to Family Search because you are a member.  On their baptism day, YOU, can provide them with a binder of names to last them a year of baptisms!  You can give them the ultimate gift of baptism - a fan chart for their wall.  While you and they are staying worthy to do ordinances each month, their ancestors will reach through the chart every time they walk by and touch their hearts with gratitude.   YOU can do so much for this work!  See how amazing YOU are?  YOUR ancestors think so too!

Tonight's presentation:  Where do I go for Jamaican Research?

                                       Using the Bridge Method in Genealogy - Plus an added special section on the New Memories section in Family Search.  

With the above presentation - you can decrease your research by 1/2 the time and double your results.  Good luck to all of you!  Good work Taneisha!  We want to do this for all the Stakes we represent - we hope they are watching.  You had over 70 Stake members on your call.  We love this cute note you sent - thank you !!!   

   Love, 

Br. Ted and Sr. Karen Meyer,

Area Temple and Family History Advisers

Tonight we discussed Annie Wheeler born in 1862:  Because I had a tree with her in it, three other girls have now met as cousins.  their mothers were all Granddaughters of Annie Wheeler.  Each one took an Ancestry DNA Test and thru Thrulines, we were able to see how many "Centimorgans" they all shared genetically.
