Training Courses for Temple and Family History Consultants
MFHC is creating online courses to help Temple and Family History Consultants and their Priesthood leadership to be better prepared to meet the needs of the patrons (both LDS Church members and other people in the community) in their temple and family history work.

Links to tutorials already created by FamilySearch, Ancestry, Legacy Family Tree and other resources. Supplemented with original tutorials to clarify common concerns. Allows for practice and recording progress. Progress can be shared with priesthood leadership and supervisors. Can be used independently or with support from training staff at MFHC.
