Important Things To Remember

1. Limit your research file to no more than 5 Generations. This makes it easier to accomplish all the tasks ahead.


2. This is a class on Research skills and Computer management, where you will learn how to prepare your records in the most correct manner, research more effectively. You will learn to use New Family Search and Roots Magic to manage your files(and teach PAF as needed).

This always takes more time than we will have in class. In order to assure you of reaching the final step of clearing names to take to the temple while in this class, be willing to commit at least 2 hours a week outside of this class to Family History.

4. Always, always!! BACKUP your file every time you work on it and say “Yes” to replace the previous copy. Then RESTORE it at home, or at the FHL, and say “Yes” to replace it. Always carry your backup copy with you when doing Family History.*

*Your flash drive carries the most current backup copy of your file from the Family History Center to your home and then back again. Each time you begin to work on any computer, you must RESTORE it from the disk and say YES when it tells you that it “already exists and do you want to replace it?” This is how you preserve your most current work from one computer to another.

5. Also be prayerful and remember you are on the Lord’s errand and you will not be doing this alone. While engaged in this endeavor, you may want to keep a journal of your faith promoting experiences. This will encourage and inspire, not only you, but those who follow you in this sacred work.
