Finally, Roadmaps and Checklists for FamilySearch training

Jaelene Starr

I stumbled upon this FamilySearch page which is dated April 7, 2023 and provides much needed roadmaps and check sheets for FamilySearch training.

Years ago the Family History department had a step-by-step training in place which has gone away and has been sorely missed. This is a wonderful roadmap with specific lessons and check sheets for training. It looks like it utilizes some lessons from thefhguide, and also articles to read at FamilySearch. The check lists add clarity and a systemic approach.

There is another page called Research Basics Training found at:

https://www.familysearch.org/en/fieldops/article/family-history-library-research-basics

I plan on implementing this program for all of our center staff.

Are there additional training roadmaps available as well? It looks like these are designed for training FamilySearch missionaries. But this training is greatly needed for our center staff as well, in my opinion.

Will I be able to put a desktop icon with a link to this training page on each computer in the center?

There is also the Family History Guide which can be found at fhguide.com. It is a great resource guide to FamilySearch. PaulaAnn

Yes, that is a great resource. The roadmaps above use some of the lessons at thefhcguide.
