Thank you Kathy. In our Family History Centre it is about the same with nonmembers using it much more than members.

Well, 85% non-LDS means 15% LDS. Outside of Utah, how many communities are 15% LDS? The average for the US is 2% LDS, right? (Six million out of 300 million total population). Clearly, the LDS at this particular FHC are more interested in genealogy than the "average American." Some ground has been covered. The question to ask now might be "how many members within my ward/stake/scope of my calling are not doing their FHC and why not?"

I have found that they believe that their great aunt mary has done it all or that it's just too much work.

That "aunt mary has done it all and has all the records" is an interesting excuse. Ask them if they would find it acceptable to themselves or if the Lord would find it acceptable if a similar excuse was used .. "My aunt mary has a copy of the Book of Mormon and the other scriptures in her home, so I don't need a copy in my home." > From: babybunt@msn.com > To: lds-ward-consultant@rootsweb.com > Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 22:17:30 -0600 > Subject: Re: [LDS-WC] How many members do genealogy > > > I have found that they believe that their great aunt mary has done it all or that it's just too much work. > > Ann > > > From: jorgetodeschini@hotmail.com > > To: lds-ward-consultant@rootsweb.com > > Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 22:13:42 -0300 > > Subject: Re: [LDS-WC] How many members do genealogy > > > > Well, 85% non-LDS means 15% LDS.
