In October our focus is on Indexing, which has proven to be a powerful asset to researchers.
====         We are once again inviting all persons - young and older to participate in indexing and /or reviewing records to help individuals find ancestors maybe missed before   now. We encourage you to set goals of so many minutes that you could devote to this per week. Then go forward. If no records are found in English right now but you would like to do indexing in other languages, there are tutorials that could aid you in this project. You need not speak the language. Thanks. Your work can be very valuable. Questions? e-mail our Rose Park Stake Indexing Lead at [mailto:babylamb44@gmail.com babylamb44@gmail.com] or phone 801 364-2688 ====

===  On 17 November from 10 am to 2 pm we will have a large printer available at our Rose Park Family History Center to print colorful 9 Generation Pedigree Fan Charts from your FamilySearch data. The charts are 17" x 24." ===

These are valuable assets in visualizing your family tree.

 * Your entire pedigree is available and clearly shows where more research can be completed
 * Comparing the charts you create each year is a visible record of your progress
 * The colorful chart easily identifies the different branches of the family
 * Creating charts for family members helps them get excited about their opportunities to contribute to research - delegation is the key.

Follow these steps to create your chart:
==== In preparation for this event, we highly recommend you review your tree on FamilySearch.org to ensure that the lines are complete, correct and just the way you would like them to print. If you have duplicates to merge and sources to add to validate your work, this would be a good thing to do in advance. ====
 * Open https://treeseek.com/ and enter your FamilySearch user name and password.
 * Select the starting person for the chart from your family members listed - or anyone in your database by adding their FamilySearch ID number.
 * Click on the 9 generation color chart (or another chart of your choosing) and scroll down to enter the title for your chart.
 * Click on “Create Chart” TreeSeek will collect your family data to develop the chart.
 * When the notice "Your Chart is Complete" appears, click on the green "Download Chart" to see your chart.  It will be in .pdf format.
 * On the next screen, view the PDF before saving to ensure it is accurate.
 * Save this file to your flash drive by naming it as follows:  Last name, First Name  Ward  Pedigree Chart as in "Doe, John  1st Ward Pedigree"
 * To save time on the 17th, e-mail your file to us at roseparkfamilyhistory@gmail.com by 10 November.
 * We will send the files to the printer if received in time.  They will bring the charts to us on the 17th for payment and distribution.
