Not Sure How to Use the newfamilysearch.org site?



1. Remember that there is NOT a www. before the address.
go to new.familysearch.org


2. To register, you need your confirmation date, and your church membership number
Ask ward clerk if you do not know your confirmation date.
Your membership number is on your temple recommend. Or ask your ward clerk.

3. Create a sign in name and password. Write it down somehwere so you do not forget it. Oh, yes, you also need an email address for yourself.

4. OK..if you did all the above..YOU'RE IN !

5. Now..you may ask..how do I use this? Take the course! It is excellent!

OK...after you sign in. You will see where you can have a 10 minute overview or you can skip it. You should watch it at least once. It is 10 minutes.

Otherwise, click SKIP OVERVIEW.
Click on Help Center
Then..click on Training in Resources tab near the top of the page.
Then...click on Training & Resources.
Then...click on E Learning Courses....and begin.

You do not have to do it all at once..it is a 4-5 hour course. Very well done. Little quizzes and practices along the way. You even can print out a certificate at the end of the course, that stares you completed the course.

Your computer will remember where you left off whenever you log off and then sign in again. It is fun..and you really need to do it so you will feel confident with this new program. Call me if you have questions! Joan Hulihan 760 241 1420
