Still want to help with the work of the Lord, but don't know how to do Family History? The church has an answer to that! Indexing!
It's actually really fun, and addicting. And it does help with the work of the Lord. I remember I helped index the 1940 census ten years ago, and after a few years, Family Search sent me an email saying that of the records I indexed hundreds of them had been added to other people's family trees, and about 180 ordinances had been requested using records I have indexed.
I got started by indexing records. What you do is go to the Family Search Website, click indexing, and sign in with your Church account. They will send you a digital image of an old birth, death, or census record, and you just type the information on the record and submit it so that people doing family history can find their ancestor's records online.
It's another way to help in the work of the Lord, and a perfect way to help prepare for when the temples are open for proxy ordinances (they are still working on that).
You can index by going to the Family Search Website. Take 15 minutes to help today! Now here's a quick video about how fun it can be!
