Uniting Families for Eternity

We invite you to incorporate family history work into your home-centered worship and family activities throughout the week!

Here are 5 ideas to help you get started:

Relative Finder allows you to see how you are related to other people in our stake as well as to historical figures.

• Visit the Durham North Carolina Stake Group on Relative Finder, the password is DurhamNCStake. You will need your FamilySearch credentials to log in and view the group.

Indexing is a fantastic service opportunity - it helps other people easily search and find records of their ancestors online.

• Watch this video as a family to learn "How it Works"

• Go to this link to do a "Guided Index" project (kind of like a practice project)

• Get started by going to the "Web Indexing" page, select "Find Batches," select the difficulty and language you prefer, choose a batch and click "Index!"

• Visit this site if you need "Help" along the way! All indexed batches are afterward looked over by an arbitrator who has extensive experience in these records, so don't worry about getting everything 100% correct!

Talking to loved ones is a great way not only to connect as a family, but to preserve family history for future generations. 

• Whether you choose to have a simple phone call with grandparents, or conduct an in-depth interview, this website talks about some useful tips with  topics to cover and how to ask questions. 

• This is a great video about finding personal strength in learning about our ancestors. 

FamilySearch.org features dozens of activities geared towards individuals and families. 

• Find out where you come from

• Leanr what your name means

• Discover which ancestor you resemble most

• Record information about yourself

• Take a quiz on your ancestors

• ... and much more!

Family History consultants are happy to help in any way they can - call, text, FaceTime, or meet in person at your home or the Family Search Center.
