Family History

Good news for the Filipino Saints!

The time is nearing when we won't be needing the microfilm readers to do our Family History research. Indexing Philippine Documents has begun. This is when records saved in microfilms are transferred to another format (soft copies) and then uploaded to the new Family History website for members to access.

We can all help make this go fast! Be an INDEXER! It's just like doing research the traditional way using readers but only much better, since we do it using the computer and we do it online (or it can be done offline also).

Hence, all members, 8 years old above are enjoined to register @ http://new.familysearch.org and http://indexing.familysearch.org and help in this great and exciting work.

To register with http://new.familysearch.org, members need to have the following information:
1) Membership Record Number (this is what we use in our Tithing slip)
2) Confirmation Date
(Please ask our Ward Clerk, Bro. Ramil Ramos to help you get these numbers)

With the necessary information, you can then proceed to http://indexing.familysearch.org and register.

For more information, please contact our Ward Family History Consultants Connie Rama, Irish Eltanal, and Peter James Bahian.
