All Temple & Family History Consultants - JanTropp asked a question.
What are some various duties for family history consultants .
Help members to have their 4 generations done, lead the members with indexing. These are some things, what else can they do considering the Family History center is closed?

- The Calling Information Section gives really good guidance, but really, everything there is very helpful.

- We are encouraging members to add to their "Memories" regarding the personal/family experiences they are having during this period. Some experiences are truly spiritual; others are more temporal. In either case, we can add testimony of our personal growth through the challenges we face. We are also encouraging them to review the documentation hints that appear for individuals, and to add appropriate documentation to the Sources for the individual. Read the "Memories" that are entered for family members and ancestors; get to know them as individuals. This has always motivated me to do more research and find other documents or missing family members. Consultants--and individual members that have the skills required--can reach out to others and assist; contact via phone to determine status and interest, then reach out through FamilySearch "Helping Others" and assist in resolving roadblocks/brick walls others may experience.

- Have your local cemeteries been documented in "FindAGrave" and "BillionGraves" websites? Organize youth to document; they can do as a group while maintaining social distancing.

- Consultants could do Zoom calls where they can give one-on-one help to members. The consultant would walk the member through the steps needed to do whatever task the member would like to do. Teach them how to add memories, how to do research, where to go to gain partner access to Ancestry, Findmypast, etc.
- We also have a Family History Center in the area that will take requests (requests made on their FB page or by email) and go to the FHC for them to look up the information.

- Since the COVID19 has kept me at home. I have been helping 2 ward members and 4 grandchildren with their Family History by using our phones and the Help Others Feature. I call them and then access their FS file, they access their file, then we work together in finding Family members needing ordinances. Lately, our time has been correcting errors, finding source proof, etc.
- This experience has brought me joy immeasurable and those I help are discovering the joy of the Spirit of Elijah. It has been especially fulfilling to work with our grandchildren. One of our families that I help lives in Puerto Rico. What a great blessing this has become for us all.
