Temple and Family History

Temple and Family History

The 2nd hour next Sunday (6/29) will be devoted to Temple and Family History Work.  Various presentations and hands-on, brief workshops will take place in the cultural hall.  Bring your phones or tablets.  It would be best if you download the FamilySearch mobile apps at home.  See this article for detailed instructions:  https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-download-familysearch-mobile-apps.  If you want to skip the article just go to the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store and download the Family Tree, Memories, Get Invoved and/or Together by FamilySearch apps as desired.  You will definitely want to install at least Famlily Tree and Memories for Sunday!

The next ward temple day will be Wednesday July 2nd.  

Please remember that the Granite FamilySearch Center (2720 E. Newcastle Drive) is open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 am. to 5:00 p.m. and then again from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.  It is also open on Sundays from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Granite FamilySearch Center has an impressive variety of equipment to digitize audio tapes (reel-to-reel, cassette), film (8mm and Super 8), video (many formats), slides, etc.  Of course there are loads of computers there as well. The consultants are very helpful and knowledgeable!

Please send me (kmpris@gmail.com, 801-201-6181) or our Family History consultants an email or text if you would like some one-on-one help with Family History.  Consultants are listed in the Tools app under Organizations/Temple and Family History.  There are many names there, probably someone you know.  If we can't help you, we can find someone who can.
