More notes on how family search such as setting up an account.

• When you’re teaching others you need to find out what their goal and motivation is and then help them accomplish that goal.
• If your student shares a family event, invite them to type it up and post that story up on family search under the name of that person who the memory references.
• Facilitate with your students their family story and promoting the holy spirt.
• When creating an account that will be viewed by others, ladies will sometimes use their maiden names so that relatives can find their association with that person.
• When setting up an account you will need to provide an email or a phone that can receive a text, as those will be the two ways to retrieve a password if you need to get a reminder.
• Same account for familysearch.org matches with the name used for lds.org. Make sure you have a great password.
• Parents can find the church number of their children by going to LDS tools and parents menu.
• Teacher can create a ‘helper’ account for their students and use the last 5 characters of their church id number. Prior to a consultation, a ‘helper’ may go into their students account and find some opportunities that can provide success to provide early encouragements for their student in doing their history. The church is not trying to create a bunch of gemologists but to help members do work for their ancestors.

More next week.
