ZOOM FOR NOVEMBER 13, 2021 - ON PARTNER ACCESS BRIDGE

 What a great zoom we had discussing exactly how you use Partner Access in your research. We have received many emails stating that they knew how to join but then would go directly to the partner to search instead of going through Family Search and creating a proper bridge and accessing through the bridge. Sometimes the difference results in finding 10 or more additional generations! Watch and learn.

Thank you to all who showed up but for some reason could not get on the call. We are looking into what happened. Possibly the link given to our calendar was faulty from zoom.

If you ever have any problems, just go to Https://www.zoom.com and input the meeting ID and password. We pay for a room each month - so it's the same login and password each month. We love your part of our zooms -when you contribute, people learn so much more!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and we will see you again on December 11, 2021 for our last Zoom of the year.

HERE IS THE LINK TO OUR ZOOM CALL - ENJOY!

Here's a thought...maybe you learned Partner Access the wrong way???

 

Partner Access

 - were you trained or did you just fumble through the sign up and give it a try?

Let's fix that!  Next Saturday at 5 pm MST we will have a blog and open forum on how to use it the correct way and how to increase your results and decrease your research time.

We want you to learn how to do it the correct way!   Then we want to hear what amazing thing you found.  Last, we want to know how many people you showed how to do it.  That's all - 3 things.

We know you are busy - !

If you can't come to our Zoom Meeting - see invite below! - Watch this little 12 minute video to get an idea how to do it right.  But later, tune back in here so that you can watch the recorded Zoom after November 13, 2021 which will be uploaded that evening.  The best part of our Zoom meetings is you!  Your experiences in learning and teaching make our calling so joyful - you are doing a great thing by teaching others how not to do genealogy.  We will show you the RIGHT way!

    There is an ugly rumor going around that it is for:

    1.  old people

    2.  People who have no life

    3.  Overworked moms who need a way to give themselves a break...

   4.  Dad's who think they need an outlet and space.

                   Well we are here to tell you that is baloney!

Get to know your ancestors - it's more fun that way.  Learn about the cities they lived in and google the city and year for a surprise.  Google "styles, clothes and the year" to see what they were wearing.  You can really have fun with this work.

Then, when you go to the temple, they are more than just a name.   A GA we met said,  "The Prophet wants us to get to know our ancestors and learn more about their lives, their existence, and what trials they overcame.  When we meet them the kinship will be a stronger bond and they will be grateful that you took the time to get to know them."

Camelback Stake Family History Fair

 

This is happening!

  May 21, 2022 from 10-1pm

Join us at the Camelback Stake Family History Fair!

  Ted and I are hosting another Stake Family History Fair.  The pics say it all.   and Pencils from Oriental trading which said, "CAMELBACK STAKE FAMILY HISTORY TREE-AGE TEAM".  Each booth had a laminated sheet that told the patron where to go next after receiving the knowledge to be imparted at the booth.  The main goal was to help as many people find their families as  possible

There were several opportunities

7 - After Ancestry, if they didn't have Partner Access, they were guided to #5

9- After getting their tree Analyzed, if they didn't have any of the other partners, they were sent to #5

12 - After viewing the My Heritage demonstration of colorization of black and white pictures, if they didn't have an account, Partner access took care of it.

The missionaries are always a great help to  Fran unload all of her scrapbooking albums.

booth 1 - Our Greeter handed out a sheet which in column 1, said  "this is my problem," Column 2 says, this is where you go to fix it...column 3 shows what the sign looks like - then the adventure begins - they go into the cultural hall and look for the picture that matches what they need.

Booth 2 - Kids Korner

Here’s the sign. Parents could let their kids color Family History coloring pages (crayons were bought in bulk from Oriental Trading) play Family History board games like "Return to Heaven" and "20 Ways to gather Israel". We also got some blank puzzles (5 x 7) from amazon that they could draw their family on, then break up the puzzle and put it into a ziplock bag to take home.   If you would like the directions for creating one of these games, send us an email with the request - naswfamilyhistory@gmail.com

We used

Booth 3. Member number

Booth 4  member login. - forgot logins and passwords to FS, Any partners

We found little leather-bound notebooks at KoleImports for .29 each   Got about 52  split between booth 4 and partner access #5

#5 partner Access - Our goal was to sign as many people up for Partner access

Booth #6  find green temples, assist the patron in reserving then print at printer booth #6

We used a personal printer a Canon 110ip printer which we take with us on presentations.

Booth#7

Do you have Ancestry?  Have you taken The Ancestry DNA test? Do you know how to enable thrulines to see if your research matches your DNA?   We were able to show them how sometimes people were just born in a certain area and assumed citizenship automatically.  So if your heritage was actually Japanese and your parents were stationed in Ireland with the MIlitary or Job, you would be called Irish, but in reality, you are really Japanese.   We were able to Analyze and make suggestions for opportunities for success.

.

Booth 8  teach how to upload a memory, picture or document

Booth 9   Have your family search tree analyzed to see if it’s full enough to create a seventh-generation Fan chart

Booth 10  teach how to find and add records to flip a name ordinance to a green temple, request and print   

Booth 11  all of your work is done? Go here and have your tree analysis to find cousins using Puzzilla.

Booth 12    Learn about how to colorize old black and white photos, then breathe life into them by letting the program animate the enhanced one.    If people are interested in learning more about gaining access to my heritage send them to partner access.  

Converted from this....

Family History Center helpdesk is 1 801 406 1830

I'm attaching our Stake Handbook for our FHC - maybe you can use some of the things in it.  Let us know if it helped you.

I changed ours to make it generic so add your information.

Copy and paste the Stake Family History Director to a Word of Excel sheet and add all the family history people from all the wards.  this will be in your LDS tools on your phone.  

Add your Stake FHC information from cdol.churchofjesuschrist.org using your login and password.  

This lady will help you update your Wiki on the internet.  You can list classes for Consultants on there and any Activities you have created can go on there too.

We use signupgenius and send a message to the Temple and Family History Leaders along with the quote from the handbook that they are supposed to send consultants to work at least once a month with a Stake consultant, shadowing his/her duties and learning advanced genealogy and workshop types of info.  You can read more about that in the "job description for Consultants and Stake Consultants".  

Our Next zoom will be:  November 13 at 5pm Arizona time - MST daylight savings time ends this year at November 7

Two power weeks - Here's #1

Many people don’t realize that there are certain things that must be updated on a regular basis in order to operate a successful Family History Center.

• Do you know if your computer licenses are up to date?
• Do you know which computers do not belong to the Salt Lake City office, and
• how to dispose of them when they cannot be updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10?
• If you can’t update, they will cease being able to print to the printers in your center which are registered with the SLC office.
• 
  
• There are a lot of things which must be attended to in order to proceed. We have partnered with Family Search to share their technological directions plus there are some other things we have added which would be helpful to any Stake person who is in charge on a night when the power goes out, for example. So we will show you how to
• safely reboot the server,
• how to get back online with the portal and
• many other things.

• Until SLC comes out with a training manual other than the outdated one which is from 2015, we have a Stake FHC Manual which will help you train any of your Stake Consultants. So, let's talk next Saturday at 5:00 pm (MST Mountain Standard time, or Arizona Time)

Ted and Karen Meyer are inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Here's Week #2

We also would like you to come - if you are one of our local stakes - to our Camelback Stake Family History Fair on Saturday 23, 2021 from 10 am to 1 pm. We have a great "cookie cutter" method of putting one of these on with all the steps - all you have to do is change the name, get some bodies for the booths and make it pretty. Three hours for the most important missionary activity of the year. Three hours of pure service to your community and the Ward Consultants, Temple and Family History Leaders and Elders Quorum Counselors assist in making the endeavor a success.

Here's a link you can send your Family History People - Please invite them to come so they can see how fun and easy it is.
