I believe it is a misnomer to believe that long time members have little work to do. I have been working with a number of members that are either 6 or 8 generation LDS and there is plenty of work for both of them to do. One of the members has had enough names for his immediate family and his siblings and their families to do for the past 8 years. As a convert myself I also have enough names to keep me busy. Unless someone in your family in your lines has has done 4.2 million names back 20 generations, you have more than enough to keep you busy. ----- Original Message ----- From: <lds-ward-consultant-request@rootsweb.com> To: <lds-ward-consultant@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 04, 2009 1:01 AM Subject: LDS-WARD-CONSULTANT Digest, Vol 4, Issue 130 > > > > 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.
