Gay, you might set up a facebook page for the community history project and ask people who live in the community now to invite friends who have moved away to post some of their remembrances on the facebook page. Alumni-types. Maybe ask for photos tagged with the residents' names and marked with dates. How about the people who grew up there - what ever happened to...? Grew up & made good...? Were there families who did join their genealogies by marrying hometown sweethearts? Or is this a retirement community? Some kind of map project to go along with the timeline, to show new construction, additions? In the News - headlines?

Thank you for your thoughts. I was thinking of doing a series of interviews with those who first moved here and writing them up but also video taping vignettes from them to put together in some kind of video that could be shown. We have over 700 families living here (we are like a town) and a lot of talent, so I could probably find a videographer who could do the video work. I have done a history on the cemetery but it is not a cemetery just for this community but for a larger geographic area. I like the idea you gave of the historical timeline of events. We have a number of good artists in the community and I can probably get one to illustrate such a timeline. I am looking forward to more suggestions from those on the list. I know there are great ideas lurking out there.

Hi Listers, Many of us on the list have done research related to family history that may have more to do with community histories. For instance, we have inventoried cemeteries and included the history of the cemetery in our work. I live in a community on Puget Sound in the state of Washington with about 700 homes. Our community is a homeowners association, that is, everyone living in the community belongs to our homeowners association. This year is the 50th year of our existence--the land was first developed in 1962 so our community will be celebrating our 50th anniversary this year. I have been asked to organize this year-long anniversary program which will include doing a history of the community. This history will be preserved for the future in the clubhouse and will include information about the original land owners, etc. Although it will have little genealogical value, it still will be valuable in preserving the history of this community. I would very much appreciate any suggestions/ideas that you all have about what to put in this history and how to go about creating it. Also, if you have any ideas about how to make this year an "historical" year for our community, I would be interested in those. Thanks very much. Gay Davis

I have been frustrated for some time because of my large temple ordinance file. After I waited for it to completely load, working as it was doing so, it usually always froze up when it got completely loaded and then I couldn't do anything except cntrl alt delete to get my machine back I recently changed from using Windows Explorer to Mozilla Firefox when using new family search. The change for large files is very good. I have not had a hangup when the file completely loads using mozilla instead and am able to actually sort even when the file is loaded as much as it will whereas with explorer if I tried to sort it worked forever and never seemed to be able to do it. I strongly suggest using Mozilla Firefox with nfs instead of Explorer. Steve Kelsey

I believe the latest guidelines are 95 years for birth of people. I know it used to be 110 for births and 95 for marriages. But it has worked for me to submit dead people less than 95 years old.

I had someone in my family that was just over 110 years (by a month or so), and it wouldn't let me clear it, so I called Salt Lake. She told me to put in "before ____" and a date 110 years after the birth. The system does sometimes hang up like that, and her suggestion worked fine. I particularly wait 110 years when I don't know where any possible living descendants are. I figure, if someone is 110 years old and even sneezes, it'll hit the newspapers.

Amazing. It worked!!! That's a glitch they need to fix!! How hard would it be for the computer to recognize a new year? Thank you!! Michele In a message dated 12/29/2011 11:04:28 A.M.

I have to go in and enter the birth date and birth place again to get them to show as ready. Sometimes even ones with the dates entered just need them entered again and standardized things chosen.

The rule states that it must be 95 years from the date of birth if you have the death date. If you do not have the death date, then it changes to 110 years.

If the rule is 110 years, why won't NFS allow me to process a person born in 1900 or 1901 without a death date? I keep waiting.... Michele

Just go to the person, copy the birth date and enter it again. then copy the birth place and enter it again. Make sure you choose the standardized forms. I'll be you will then be able to do the work.

Carly. I have recently been called to be centre director in our ward building. So my way is still very new. But, I have seen some things and have plans: At our stake centre I have seen lists with classes during the week. (That is what I/we will have to have too, since everyone are busy during Sunday school - our ward being very small). What can I do to have ancestors ready to take along to the temple? How do I get started? Why is order so important in family history? How to keep it easy and simple: How do I keep track of what is to be done? Computer programs for family history which should I choose?: I have found a number of programs at the opening page of NFS corresponding with NFS. And have installed as many as I could at the centre. Books, maps and other tools to make family history easier: Etc. I do not know which courses I will be giving, but as I discover needs I will make them along the way. Along with a column in the ward Sunday news once or twice a month, notifying the members that something is going on at the centre. And suggestions on how to get to know your ancestors. I even found new family members among my friends from former wards using NFS. It is so great. A sister I was visiting teacher many years ago had requested that my husband play at her funeral. She died in 2006. As I got to NFS in 2008 I discovered that she and a brother from the other stake and I all are descendants from a family where the parents married in 1818. They had 14 children and 9 died before they were 3 years old. From the last 5 Marete, Hans and I are 3 of a LOT descendents. I know of at least another 10 - 15 people that are doing family history from their descendents. Good luck - I for sure will need it :) And may the Lord bless your efforts - probably more effective than whishing for luck. :) Helle Now,. I've got a question for you all: Do you have any examples of things you've done a create more attractive Family History Centers to comple with recent instruction from leaders to make our centers more like "portals to the Temple"? Carlyine Ritter

Anyone know what FS's stance is going to be regarding loss of the SSDI. Several sites have already caved in. Bob Taggart Moundbuilders Ward Join the grid - Change the world http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org

Helle, Congratulations. It's a great calling. My ward in tiny also, and it does limit our chances of getting good ideas going. The work is so important, and I enjoy it so much, that I will keep trying. I love the idea of classes. Maybe a very short -- 15-minute -- class right after church, complete with finger food so folks won't starve before they get home for lunch would work. I like some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing.

I am the director for the Yuba City Stake. This next year we are focusing our bulletin boards on the resources available in our center. We have a bulletin board in the hallway at the Stake Center & we have bulletin boards in the center. I've assigned different shifts to do the bulletin boards during the year, on a bi-monthly basis. I've also assigned which resource they will hi-lite during that two month period. Kathy Shipley Director Yuba City CA Stake Family History Center Sent from my iPhone.

Here is a suggestion: As part of our regular housekeeping when working in new.FamilySearch, we should check to make sure how many people have been assigned to us for ordinance work. I recently learned this one the hard way. I didn't know it, but thousands of names had been assigned to me. I still don't know how it happened and the FamilySearch missionary who worked with me to get the mistake corrected couldn't explain the mystery either. I knew I had not lined up any of my ancestors for temple ordinance work recently, so I was totally unaware of the problem until someone contacted me to ask if I'd release his ancestor's name, because his family was planning a temple trip and wanted to do the work. Of course, I immediately released that person. I was shocked to discover all the thousands that had been assigned!!! The weren't my relatives -- absolutely no one in my direct line. Some other strange things happened around the same time. For instance, someone baptized my aunt who is living and doesn't appreciate the fact that I'm working on family history, because she's afraid I'll dig up secrets I promised I'd never share secrets and had put safeguards into my personal database so it would be impossible to accidentally print secrets. I am the only member in my family and have been very careful not to offend anyone, always checking with them about what I write. She would have a giant tizzy fit if she knew that someone had baptized her as a Mormon.. :) Not to worry -- I got it fixed -- but I learned that we need to just check out what's going on in new.FamilySearch to make sure some giagantic error has not been made. Now,. I've got a question for you all: Do you have any examples of things you've done a create more attractive Family History Centers to comple with recent instruction from leaders to make our centers more like "portals to the Temple"?
