Family History Class - March 16th - What in the World is Indexing?

Ever wonder what indexing is and why it’s important? Join us Thursday, March 16th @ 7pm to learn why indexing is vital to temple and family history work.

Indexing is a wonderful service activity for people of all ages. It:

- Gives individuals and families a way to be involved in family history work in short amounts of time.

- Provides a service opportunity for those who may not be able to serve in other ways.

- Gives everyone a way to say “thank you” after finding family names through records others have indexed in the past.

Join us on March 16th for a short discussion on “Why Index?” followed by real-time indexing.
