Internet Access Marching Forward!

 This year the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is making a big push to get the Internet into more of it's church buildings around the world. Buildings in the United States and Canada have more Internet access at the moment, but the Church is now working diligently to get Internet access into buildings in Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and Latin America. Poor infrastructure hampers the technology in some countries, but the church is working to help solve that problem. (LDS Tech Conference, 2011) Think of the power of this technology in terms of family history work!  Imagine going into a Family History Center in Cape Town, South Africa and being able to access everything available to those patrons in Salt Lake City, Utah! What a blessing!

Indexing is providing FamilySearch with new records at a rapidly expanding pace. If you want to become part of the team indexing millions of records a year, consider indexing. Go to indexing.familysearch.org if you are interested!

A Minor Interruption!

More to post from the conference, but dealing with a minor interruption at the moment! Winter weather forced me (and a zillion others) to stop and spend the night in Cedar City! So, as soon as I make it home I will post the rest of my fun conference info! All I want to say right now is KUDOS to Holly Hansen and her help for making the conference the success that it was!
