Primary Family History Training

We were going to put this in our newsletter and still should. It's so important. I can't tell you the number of people who did not start training the youth last year when the prophet asked them to because they just didn't know where to start.



 We have taken the guesswork out of it and given you a way to train the young ones, give them an opportunity to share for sharing time what they have learned, and earn a certificate. All you have to do is go through it with them and help them learn it.  We call it Primarily Primary Training for Family History.



 Have your Consultant teach the ones who are ready to graduate the Consultant Planner and Access. The younger ones should start with fun apps. I will upload our deck called Primary Goals which will help you as a leader as well as help you with your family history as you learn right along with them how to analyze a tree for optimal success and mend the dead ends.



 I leave you with the Spirit of Elijah alive and well in our hearts. We hope this is of benefit to you. Would appreciate your feedback in the FAMILYSEARCH.ORG - HELP - COMMUNITY - TEMPLE AND FAMILY HISTORY CONSULTANT GROUP AS WELL AS THE STAKE TEMPLE AND FAMILY HISTORY CONSULTANT GROUP.

As we continue to learn more state of the art ways to improve your skills, always remember that no technology can replace the power of prayer. These spirits want to be found. They love you and are grateful to you for helping them and helping the young children learn how to do this work. Family History is not just for old folks - that was an ugly

 rumor!

The best way to teach children genealogy is at https://www.familysearch.org/discovery
The apps are just amazing!

I've been working on a time travel novel about genealogy and just happened to find this - so cute.  I love LDS humor!

What should I do to prepare to go to Roots Tech 2019?

NASW NEWSLETTER FOR SEPTEMBER 21, 2018 by TedKarenMeyer

Are you sure you are looking in the right State?

Are you sure you are looking in the right State?

Here's your scenario.  You have hit a brick wall.  You can't find your person anywhere.  They said, "He was born in 1792 in Tennessee."  Family Search shows 1792 in Tennessee but no sources.

Let's see.  Dead End.  No records, no sources?  This happened to me and I was inspired to look at the date more carefully.  My mystery man was born in 1792......but Tennessee was not a State so how could they have any records?  I found the records, with correct birth and marriage, wife's maiden name in North Carolina.

Tennessee became a State in 1796.  

If someone lived in a "state" all their life they would just say, "I was born in Tennessee."  They would not say, "Well, I was born in the part of Tennessee that used to be part of North Carolina."  It probably would not have even entered their mind to include data in their conversation about the border changes!  Not part of normal conversation, right?

Notes[change | change source]

1. Jump up↑ Also known as the "Three Lower Counties Upon Delaware." Delaware became a state on June 15, 1776, when the Delaware Assembly formally adopted a resolution declaring an end to Delaware's status as a colony of Great Britain and establishing the three counties as an independent state under the authority of "the Government of the Counties of New Castle, Kent and Sussex Upon Delaware." ^[2]
2. Jump up↑ Between 1749 and 1764 the provincial governor of New Hampshire, Benning Wentworth, issued approximately 135 grants for unoccupied land claimed by New Hampshire west of the Connecticut River (in what is today southern Vermont), territory that was also claimed by New York. The resulting "New Hampshire Grants" dispute led to the rise of the Green Mountain Boys, and the later establishment of the Vermont Republic. New Hampshire's claim upon the land was extinguished in 1764 by royal order of George III, and in 1790 the State of New York ceded its land claim to Vermont for 30,000 Dollars.
3. Jump up↑ The Virginia General Assembly adopted legislation on December 18, 1789 separating its "District of Kentucky" from the rest of the State and approving its statehood.^[11]
4. Jump up↑ The exact date upon which Ohio became a state is unclear. On April 30, 1802 the 7th Congress had passed an act "authorizing the inhabitants of Ohio to form a Constitution and state government, and admission of Ohio into the Union." (Sess. 1, ch. 40, 2 Stat. 173) On February 19, 1803 the same Congress passed an act "providing for the execution of the laws of the United States in the State of Ohio." (Sess. 2, ch. 7, 2 Stat. 201) Neither act, however, set a formal date of statehood. An official statehood date for Ohio was not set until 1953, when the 83rd Congress passed a Joint resolution "for admitting the State of Ohio into the Union", (Template:USStatute) which designated March 1, 1803, as that date.^[14]
5. Jump up↑ The Massachusetts General Court passed enabling legislation on June 19, 1819 separating the "District of Maine" from the rest of the State (an action approved by the voters in Maine on July 19, 1819 by 17,001 to 7,132); then, on February 25, 1820, passed a follow-up measure officially accepting the fact of Maine's imminent statehood.^[11]
6. Jump up↑ On May 13, 1862, the General Assembly of the Restored Government of Virginia passed an act granting permission for creation of West Virginia.^[28] Later, by its ruling in Virginia v. West Virginia (1871), the Supreme Court implicitly affirmed that the breakaway Virginia counties did have the proper consents necessary to become a separate state.^[29]
7. Jump up↑ When President Benjamin Harrison signed the statehood proclamations for North and South Dakota he shuffled the papers on his desk and covered up all but the signature line of the documents. No one knows which state he signed into existence first. North Dakota's proclamation was published first in the Statutes at Large, as it is first in alphabetical order.^[31]
8. ↑ ^{Jump up to:8.0 8.1} Brought into existence within moments of each other on the same day, North and South Dakota are the nation's only twin-born states.
