New Fun

The combined RS/YW/Priesthood lesson on Sunday was to learn how, then do, some name indexing for Family Search. It was fun, people calling out "it's Lewis, not Harris" (and if you've seen the handwriting, you know what I'm talking about) and things like that. So I decided to start, too. It's an easy way to start or wind down the day, and the detective work involved is just challenging enough to make it interesting without making it too difficult. There's censuses in both English (US or Canada) and Spanish (Mexico), plus Revolutionary War records, in the general list, and you can sign up for special projects, too. The church just started on a German census and I know at least three of you have enough fluency to help. I'm thinking about doing it, myself, and I don't have nearly as much experience with German given names or handwriting. Anyway, it's fun, it's easy, and it's a great way to help others with their temple work.
