FamilySearch.org is an amazing technology to record the entire pedigree of the human race. From any computer, laptop, tablet, or  smartphone in the world, you can collaborate with anyone else in the world to build your family tree.

But since not everyone has a computer or device, the Church now provides an easy paper-based system to collect information about living and recently-deceased people and get that information into the online Family Tree.

FamilySearch.org has added a new icon to their home-page called Family Booklet. . .

The booklet My Family: Stories That Bring Us Together introduces
family history and guides you through the process of gathering stories, photos, and other information about your family.

The booklet is easy to use and, as the title implies, the process starts with family stories. As you talk to your relatives about family stories, your family will be strengthened, and you will be able to better fulfill your divinely-appointed responsibilities in behalf of your ancestors.

Once you gather information about your family, your ward family history consultant and others with access to computers can help you input the stories and information into FamilySearch.org—a necessary step for entering names for temple ordinances.

New features on FamilySearch.org include the ability to upload family photos and enter family stories.

Talk with your family and fill in this booklet with stories, photos, and information about your family.

This is a great little booklet for:
  • An easy Family History beginning for all ages.
  • A way to get others interested in Family History.
  • A thoughtful missionary tool.
  • Once filled in, it would make a treasured gift for a loved one.
  • Also a unique stocking stuffer for Santa.

The booklet, My Family: Stories That Bring Us Together is available here at The St. George FamilySearch Library or you can order it online at store.lds.org.
