Your Ancestors are You: A way to discover who you are

On this pioneer weekend, I wanted to share some amazing features with you that might draw you closer to your ancestors, and to the Lord. It made the world of difference to me, especially on this Weekend. And it's for everyone.  You are not alone in this world.
 
The Facebook for Ancestors
The Family Tree Mobile App is wonderful, and you can find some wonderful memories of your ancestors that others have uploaded.  However, did you know that the The Family Search website has a stream, similar to Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest where you can find stories and pictures about your ancestors?
 
Sharable on Social Media and with Family
And guess what? There are links so you can share these memories to social media like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and What's App. 

That's right, pictures, stories, Headstones, Family Bibles, and many other things are available there on the main page of Family Search. 

And better, you can share these memories of your ancestors with those you love on social media or email. And you can draw closer to them.
 
They sacrificed for us and are a part of us
Many of our ancestors sacrificed so that we could have a better life. They had faith in God, and they often understand our trials.  As we will draw closer to them, the heavens will draw near, and we will also draw closer to our Heavenly Father. 

I encourage you this Pioneer Day Weekend, wherever you are from in the world, to take some time on the Family Search website main page, and scroll through the memories of your ancestors.

And if you have stories to add, you may want to do that by uploading it to the Memories section of the person's page. 

More to come
I'm going to do some more posts in the future about the benefits of moving from the Family Tree Mobile App to the website, but for now, I encourage you to look at some of your ancestor's stories.  It will make your Pioneer Day Weekend more memorable as the heavens draw near.

We are engaged in the work of the Lord. He lives, and stands at the head of this work. Enjoy this weekend.  

If you have never done Family History on Family Search, I've done a 10 Minute Quick Start Guide on another post.  

A great Followup to it is the Resolving Duplicates post.

Discover your story on the Family Tree Mobile App, or on the Family Search Website.
