family history story of the week

We've been talking about attaching a record.  How would you like the app to tell you where to find records that need attaching to your tree?

(They are located at the bottom of the home page in family search.  Log in and go to App Gallery.)

Find-a-record
It generates different types of research opportunities such as finding missing information, finding missing people, finding sources, fixing problems and reserving ordinances.
This "3 minute" genealogy is 100% free.

Demo: go to sources (green box).  In drop-down box, click record hints. search.
Notice that it shows how these people are related to you.
let's attach Charles Frederick's death record.
After attaching the record, click fixed.

Check out the yellow box (ordinances)

David is 55 years old and he just printed his first 3 family name temple cards.  It went something like this...
He wanted to find a direct ancestor to do temple work for.  This is very difficult to do with so many Cardons being members going back to the pioneers, so I suggested he look on his mother's side.  Using the app "find-a-record" and a Kozak name, he was able to locate three ordinances: two couples who needed sealed and a child to parents.
He requested the ordinances.
He printed them off at home.
He cut out the cards.
He took them to the temple to do the work (same night.)
I was there to witness the event.  The Spirit in the room was undeniable.  I was brought to tears as Catharina with the last name that couldn't be pronounced and had to be spelled (Hricz) was sealed to her husband.  She was originally married 8 November 1858 in Hungary.  Now on the 29 of November 2017, some 159 years later, she could be married to her husband for time and all eternity.  I knew in that moment, she didn't care if her name couldn't be pronounced.  She was just eternally grateful for the ordinance that had been performed in her behalf.
I submit to you, that the best Christmas gift you can give to someone this year is to do the temple work for them.

What other apps have you used to successfully find names?

Take a name (Android phone):
Find temple ready ancestors. Take a Name searches the FamilySearch tree for your deceased ancestors and double checks that LDS ordinances are ready for the temple. Request LDS ordinances and print temple cards – from your phone!
Take a Name typically delivers dozens of temple ready family names in a matter of minutes.
