Scott's October, 2012, General Conference address. This page is filled with links to stories, instructional resources, and video clips to help readers understand and appreciate their responsibility to find and redeem their dead.

Collaboration: It's about Sharing

Remember the story of Stone Soup, where the townspeople came together offering ingredients to create a delicious soup made only from a stone and water, or so they thought?  There are many versions of the story that have been passed down and shared over the years. Although the adaptations change, one of the main themes of the story is the value of sharing. By coming together, bringing what each person can offer and sharing with others, everyone benefits from the resulting rich and hearty soup.

The Learning Services Group at FamilySearch.org continues to create new learning courses to help patrons learn how to make the most of the resources that FamilySearch has to offer. Here are some of the courses that are now available at FamilySearch.org.

 


5 Minute Genealogy: Genealogy Boot Camp

FamilySearch announces a 27-minute video on the FamilySearch website. The name of the video is Genealogy Boot Camp. It's listed under the category of Most Popular Courses. I'm always skeptical when any product is billed as "Most Popular," but after going through the course, I discovered that it has rightfully earned that designation.

Tech Tips: Be Prepared for Genealogical Research with your Smartphone

In the old days, when you went to a library or repository to do research, you might have to lug a whole briefcase full of information. In the electronic age, that has mostly changed. Although it is still a good idea to have a pencil and a pad of paper, the up-to-date researcher will more likely carry a camera, a digital audio recorder, a laptop computer, and perhaps a scanner. What happens if you find yourself with some extra time near a research location and don't have all of your equipment with you? Today's smartphone just might save the research opportunity.

"Haz tu Arbol Genealogico...El Arbol mas Hermoso de la Creacion"
Por medio de la historia familiar descubrimos el árbol más hermoso de la creación: nuestro árbol genealógico. Sus numerosas raíces se remontan a la historia y sus ramas se extienden a través de la eternidad. La historia familiar es la expresión extensiva del amor eterno; nace de la abnegación y provee la oportunidad de asegurarse para siempre una unidad familiar".
(Élder J. Richard Clarke, Liahona julio de 1989, pág.69)
