We are FORMER ADVISERS: We have enjoyed the most amazing calling of Area Advisers for the past 7 years. We are now going to pursue not only genealogy but other areas of family documentation. We will help anyone who asks us. We no longer have to stay within the realms of our 9 stakes. We hope you will visit our new blog and keep in touch AT meyerandmeyerconsulting.blogspot.com Sign up for our Newsletter http://eepurl.com/cZDKYn for Tips and Tricks to end your worries with FAMILY HISTORY
It is a tribute to the Peruvian people in song dance and food all for Free! Come enjoy friends and family! Make new friends! at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Scottsdale North Stake on Goldust
We lose members when they don't feel needed or important. They fall away because they lose a sense of purpose. Getting them involved with a friend to help them with Family History is the number one way to get them excited about their life. When they find along the journey that they actually have Mormon ancestors, they will feel like they belong!
The problem is when no Temple and Family History is assigned to a new person, No one makes sure they are on track for the temple. Everyone thinks someone else is working with him. There is no communication. Assuming that this is not part of their calling comes into play. Apathy enters the picture. Our convert walks away...
We had an amazing tracking system where we got the young man to the Temple within 3 weeks with his own names. The goal was 60 days.
WE ALL WORKED TOGETHER for SUCCESS.
With the consultant assigned and involved, every member in the playing field had the login and password to the link to make sure he was progressing.
This meant, the lead Temple and Family History Consultant updated the form every time an event happened to progress him. The Ward Mission Leader, the Bishop, the Young Men's President, his Teacher's Quorum President, the Mission President and the Stake President.
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?

Here is a list of all the States and when they became a State! Courtesy of Wikipedia
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]
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.
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]
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]
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]
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]
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]
↑ Jump up to:8.08.1Brought into existence within moments of each other on the same day, North and South Dakota are the nation's only twin-born states.
