What are good things to teach someone when doing an overview of FS?
Full time missionaries are encouraged to do Family History. They can use Family Search, but not the whole internet. Do you have any tips for helping them out? I am helping them learn by researching their lines with them over Zoom. Some things I have showed them in the process are FS Wiki, importance of looking at the original image of a source, different ways of looking at the tree such as pedigree and fan chart options. They are familiar with indexing and have done some research, attaching hints, etc. I'm planning on talking about Memories, My Source Box, Person Page, searching records and FS Communities. Are there any other important things I should be showing them on Family Search?

@esthomson Sounds like you are already doing a first-rate job. One resource that might stimulate some ideas for you is in the Helper Resources on FamilySearch--the How to Help Others page teaches important principles and suggests some things you can do. Personally, I think the "Discover Interests" step is a vital one.

Show them how Help (? in a circle) has suggested help content that changes based on each page you access within FamilySearch. They will be able to figure anything out if they know how to access the Help Center articles with how to instructions.

Buenas me parece que lo ideal sería enseñarle a elaborar su propio árbol genealógico.
Dandole a conocer cada detalle de sus ascendientes y descendientes familiares
Comenzar or lugares de nacimiento, fechas dia y mes y año
Armar su árbol genealógico

What a great work you are doing by helping the missionaries to find their ancestors. Thank you!
Teaching them how to use the FS partner sites like Ancestry, My Heritage etc. could enhance their research. Using the BYU Relativefinder have given always joy to our missionaries. You may give it a try?
