Rise to your Call - LDS Video for Temple and Family History Consultants

President Eyring discusses the blessings you will receive when you seek to magnify your calling, no matter what it is in the Church.

"And so to everyone-- man or woman, girl or boy-- who has been called or who will yet be, I will give you my counsel.
First, you are called of God. The Lord knows you. He knows whom He would have serve in every position in his Church. He chose you. Your call has eternal consequences for others and for you. In the world to come, thousands may call your name blessed, even more than the people you serve here. They will be the ancestors and the descendants of those who chose eternal life because of something you said or did, or even what you were.
There will be times when you will feel overwhelmed. One of the ways you will be attacked is with a feeling that you are inadequate. But you have access to more than your natural capacities, and you do not work alone. The Lord will magnify what you say and what you do in the eyes of the people you serve. All He asks is that you give your best effort and your whole heart.
Do it cheerfully and with the prayer of faith. The Father and his beloved Son will send the Holy Ghost as your companion to guide you. Your efforts will be magnified in the lives of the people you serve, and you will know that you have seen the arm of God lifting those you serve for him. And lifting you."   ~ Henry B. Eyring

Why ARE Irish records so hard to find?

Why ARE Irish records so hard to find?

     In 1922, during the Irish Civil War, there was a huge fire in the court system there.  Many thought that the records were all lost, but similarly to our Civil War, records were kept locally then sent to the County Courts in the form of copies.  In our records, the way you can tell a copy from an original is that the copy is neatly handwritten and in alphabetical order instead of random by street.

     Following that logic, the local copies of records were most often records kept in Catholic Parishes.   

Recently, technology has transformed hope of what was once thought of as lost to possibility.

.  People are taking portable scanning machines directly to Parishes country wide and preserving these precious artifacts for their posterity.  By scanning and then indexing (somewhat like tagging a picture in facebook), remarkable finds are happening.  

     You can read more about that here at findmypast.com  Another Partner Access we have free access to is called    AMERICAN ANCESTORS       

https://familysearch.org/partner/americanancestors  

     This now holds the worlds largest Catholic database of Boston Archdiocese parish records from 1789-1900.  Usually, to belong to this organization created by the New England Historical Genealogical Society it costs upwards of 90.00/year.

Irish Family History: Ashes to Archives
