Have you ever felt a prompting to participate in family history but did not know where to start?

Have you ever started doing family history only to get stuck and quit?

Do you have boxes of cherished photos, documents, certificates, letters, or other memories that you want to organize and preserve?

Do you serve on a ward or stake council or in a calling that requires you to minister to others?

Do you have any responsibility for the success of the family history effort in your unit?

Do you have an association with young people that would benefit from a healthy dose of the spirit of Elijah?

Are you looking for an activity that will be meaningful and uplifting for your children or grandchildren?
