I hope this is the right place to ask this question. I am a stake temple and family history consultant leader. Is every person who is called to be in indexing or family history supposed to be called a "temple and family history consultant"?

I was called to be over indexing in the stake. I think the new idea is that all consultants are now considered both indexing and family history consultants with training in both areas. Is that right?

@KillpackShaunaJean1 KillpackShaunaJean1​ I am going to move this conversation over to the All Temple & Family History Consultants Group so that they can better help you.

@KillpackShaunaJean1 KillpackShaunaJean1​ Everyone called to serve in the stake with you, is essentially a Temple and Family History Consultant. You could check the church handbook to verify, but I would think that you, as the leader are enabled to select certain consultants to oversee certain aspects of the work. Have you reviewed the information supplied by The Church here?:

and here?:

Have either of these helped? If not, please let me know, and I'm happy to research more with you!

Thank you. I will let you know after I have studied this information if I need more help.

In my estimation, Family Tree and Indexing go hand in hand. We need to make records available so we can find our ancestors or perhaps add critical missing data and take their names to the temple. What did we use to say? Indexing is the fuel that runs FamilySearch.
