THANK YOU MILES for the lesson plans for NFS and FAMILY TREE.    Loretta at Elk Grove Family History Center.  I put page numbers at the bottom of the 2nd and 3rd parts just in case I drop the binder and it all falls out.  These will be so helpful to our patrons.  Thanks again   --- On Tue, 4/28/09, lds-ward-consultant-request@rootsweb.com <lds-ward-consultant-request@rootsweb.com> wrote: From: lds-ward-consultant-request@rootsweb.com <lds-ward-consultant-request@rootsweb.com> Subject: LDS-WARD-CONSULTANT Digest, Vol 4, Issue 174 To: lds-ward-consultant@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, April 28, 2009, 3:00 AM Please send the one word message SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE to LDS-WARD-CONSULTANT-L-REQUEST@ROOTSWEB.COM  If you prefer the digest version, use a D instead of the L in the request address.  Please remember to restrict the size of your post.

How are you guys splitting/setting up your SS classes? We are a small ward and trying to get just the married couples to attend, never mind their more techie minded teenagers, is nigh impossible. Secondly, once someone has been through some education, how do you keep them hooked?

We have a revolving schedule of classes with research, nFS, and PAF as class options.

It took our stake president about 45 seconds into a conversation we were having just before we went live to realize that would no longer be part of our report to the stake.      We do continue to track attendance at the center and are just now starting to see the return of our members to the center after nearly a year and a half since going on nFS. The easy pickings in their family tree has fallen and now they're coming back for training in research. Also, those that are new arrivals to the area come to learn how to use the program.      David, San Diego District ---- Terry Turner <turner@thewebsurfer.co.za> wrote: Hi, what nFS stats are available to me as an assistant FHC director?
