Be in Control of your Data forever!

Whether you are a Stake or Ward Lead, you are tasked with helping Investigators work with consultants and Missionaries with progression towards baptism.

During that time, there are several things that must happen.

1.  Who has been assigned to help them?
2.   As an investigator, have they been given a login and password?
3.   Have they started their tree?
4.   What is the baptism date?
5.   What is the 30 day mark towards the 60 day goal?
6.   What is your 60 day target date?
7    Post Baptism - have they been signed up for Partner Access?
8.   Have they learned the Consultant Planner?
9.   Do they have a limited use recommend?
10. Do they know how to reserve a name?
11.  Have they printed names?
12.  What was the date of the first visit to the temple with their names?

What if you had an excel workbook that you entered the data and it kept track of the numbers?

UPDATED 5/29/ 258PM - BETTER VERSION - MADE SURE THERE ARE NO LOCKED CELLS, BUT USE PASSWORD TEMPLE IF YOU WANT TO TWEAK IT FOR YOUR WARD

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO GET IT SET UP:

This is working!  We have been getting messages that the Bishops/TFHCs are editing the sheets.

We updated the formulas in my Tracking spreadsheet - My husband is a mathematician and made it a lot more professional.    Here is our better version - I'm going to send it to others.

We created an account at onedrive.com

Created a folder for each Stake

Created a folder for each ward in that folder

Then saved a template as each ward name

Lastly created an excel sheet for our Mission President who wants to be informed and updated often of all the shared links, by ward....by Stake.  All he has to do is open one excel file and click on any ward he wants.

As long as no one changes your links and tries to do a "save as" to their system, your Leads can keep it updated for the Presidents/ (Stake and Mission) to keep "in the know!"

Excel is Microsoft Office - and it works very well with onedrive.com....google drive stops and hesitates with MSO products.

Camelback Stake - Mountain Shadows Linger Longer

We had a fun time and helped people with their family history. Thanks to the entire Mountain Shadows Family History - each took a booth and represented a faction of Family History from Ancestry, Family Search, Scanning pictures, Printing Names, History documentation, Scrapbooking, Kids Korner, Partner Access and Puzzilla. Whatever question someone had, they could go right to the expert! Great Day!

Discover, Gather and Connect - Pulling the Family together!

I first became interested in Family History as a girl in Danville, CA where after school, I would walk sometimes to my friend Sharon's home.  To get there, you had to walk by the old Alamo Cemetery on the border of Danville and Alamo, which had been in existence since the 1800s.  To get to Sharon's even quicker, you could cut through the cemetery.  As a 12-year-old, I wasn't afraid of the spirits there, I was, however, fascinated with the stories on the headstones.  It was a pretty rickety old cemetery, not really kept up, no lawn to manicure.  I felt almost transformed into that space in time which they lived.  I longed to know what they endured, how I could have helped them, or make their lives easier somehow.  That became my first experiences with learning about our ancestors.

 Today was our Stake Conference.  In attendance was General Authority, Hugo E. Martinez who spoke to us.  His stories were heartwarming and full of love for the people and especially family history.

We had the opportunity to speak with him after the Conference and told him of the idea to have investigators be assigned to a TFHC while working with the Missionaries.  Once they are baptized, we can present them with a fan chart for their home and family members and continue to work on their tree.  They would already have names to take to the Temple, which is the request of the 1st Presidency, that each new member take their own names to the Temple within 60 days of Baptism.  

He was thrilled that we were working on this project and that it was a success.  He said that only 3% of all members every truly catch the Spirit of Elijah and that finding people for their family tree and not just getting names for the Temple, but really helping them to get to know their ancestors by finding stories and pictures for them, should our motivation for truly helping new members.

Several years ago, when I was first a Family History Consultant, I had put my pictures of my family on my computer as a screensaver.  Whenever I would walk by, I would see their names and faces floating by and I would hear their voices saying, "Please help us! Don't forget us!"  I can't express the feeling enough of the heartache or the tears stinging, rushing from my eyes within seconds of walking past that sight.  It was an emotionally impacted moment of which I will not soon forget.

I knew, even then, at 28 years old, that my goal would be to help people find out more about their families.  To have this wonderful man come right out and say to the effect of  'Don't just be a Temple Hunter, find out about the love in their families' was so heartwarming that I was moved to tears.

.  Family History heals hearts in a way that no other action can replace.   That relationship which was not so great when you were younger, will become as strong as a rock when you choose to show your ancestors that they have not been forgotten.

Start today.  Discover who your Ancestors are.  Gather them all together and Connect them to your family tree.  No wonder Family History is the 3rd most popular hobby worldwide.  It is inspirational to learn more about stories which can be passed down to their posterity.  

Let us know how we can help you!

Ahh...the answers are below

Print out these flip cards, 

connect them with a ring, (I laminate mine)
