Promised Blessings Part 2 (Video)


In previous posts, I've shared a short 3 minute video awhile ago by the church about the Promised Blessings of Temple and Family History Work. It's one of the most amazing videos ever.

This last year, the church made a Part 2 of that video, and made it available for Rootstech. Without further ado, here's the video.  

It's easier than ever to start or continue with Family History. There is a short get started video posted below that can show you a secret to finding your ancestors, even if you have never done it before, or if you have run into some roadblocks.

The Link to Family Search Hints referenced in the video is at https://www.familysearch.org/campaign/hints

One last note: If you can't see any record hints after logging into Family Search when you use the above link, it may be because you haven't put your parents, grandparents, and great grandparents into the tree.  

If that is the case, reach out to your family!  Get their birthdates and family stories, and start putting them into Family Search until you get back to your most recent ancestor who has passed away.  If Family search then connects to the global family tree, and you can see more ancestors, come back to this post in a week or so, when Family Search has been able to match records up, and follow the instructions on the video.  

If it doesn't connect to ancestors already in your tree, I would contact one of the Family History Consultants in your ward or branch, or reach out to a genealogist in your family and have them assist you.  It's well worth the phone call, and will change your life.

For those who need help, You can also find a great post about resolving duplicates here.
