Riverton FamilySearch Library/Missionary Opportunities

Getting Started

 * The first step is to schedule an interview with the Area Temple and Family History Consultants at the Riverton FamilySearch Library by calling either Elder Douglas Dalton at 801-240-9625 or Sister Arlene Dalton at calling 801-240-9615. The interview is required for all those who desire to serve as a Church-service missionary at the library.  Experience with family history, computer skill level, availability, personal limitations, library needs, start date, hours per week, and length of service will be discussed during the interview.  Do not submit any forms until after the interview.
