Temple Fandango

The Church is moving to a new Family Search and Temple Ready program that is just awsome. It is being rolled out by Temple region and the Sacramento Temple is live on this now. If you have not all ready signed up I would highly recomend that you do. It is at http://new.familysearch.org/. It is simply incredible. You will need your membership# and confirmation date to register so talk to your Ward Clerk if you don't have this.

When you go in click on See Me and My Ancestors. Your geneology that the Church has on file will show. It has all the records for our family going very far back. That is just cool. But to make it even better you will see an icon by each family listing. It shows if all Temple work is done or not. If you see work is needed you click on the ordinance print out a sheet to take to the Temple, do the work and that day it is recorded as complete. No more duplication. This is Temple Fandago :).

I saw one family of Nathaniel Green Williams and Eliza Helen Wall that have a daughter Miss Miss Williams Birth: 8 November 1879 Provo, Utah, UT. Eliza was born in Nauvoo in 1843 so right in the heart of the early Church. Miss Miss Williams died before she was 8, likely at birth. However she is not sealed to her parents. There looks to be a duplicate as shares the birthdate of another daughter so unless it was twins. She needs to be sealed or the records merged. There is likely another duplicate in this family as well. The great part is that with everyone in the world in the Haws Family working on these records we are no longer duplicating our work.

(UPDATE: After poking around found how easy it was to compare records and merge duplicates. Once you carefully verify they are the same. Now the Temple work shows as complete for this family)

We are starting to enter Dolly's information that we got from her Dad when he passed away. Hope to connect into some known lines to help fill out more of her work.

This is the biggest thing to come to Family History and Temple Work ever in my opinion.
