A Dusting of the Cobwebs: Family Search Indexing...

A Dusting of the Cobwebs....

welcome to my blog!
...allow me a brief introduction...

In a reacent conversation with my daughter, her questions were why I, and her Dad were so quiet about our lifes? Meaning writing or telling about our own personal historys.

I didn't think there was anything important to write about. As I was just a normal person, getting up in the morning and getting the day started, getting kids off to school, or meeting schedules of the whole family, cleaning house, and landry. Keeping little ones busy, and changing diapers, comming home fixing dinner, helping with homework, putting kids to bed, watch some news, go to bed. And then do it all over again the next day. Then some days was teaching lessons in Primary, RS, MIA, Sundayschool, cub scouts, or helping at schools, ect. Family home evening, Visiting teaching, and even some Home teaching and being the family schaefer. most of the time we had one car, 6 kids, one working husband. Oh yes, the multi years of music lessons, and baseball teams, coaching, and even one major jumproap champion, for one daughter.

We had trials too. some were very hard, just thinking about a single memory of losing our son, brings tears. But we are told that this life is to meet trials, and how we handle them will be for our own eternal growth.

A very wise Stake President, President Alred, once said "We are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity. We will work by the sweat of our brow, to work our way through this life... But remember we are here to be schooled in the principles of eternity."

So, I welcome you to my blog. Please feel free to stay and go as you please, and wander where you wish. And, as always, feel comfortable in sharing those stories that you may feel are just "an every day" thing as well...

Family Search Indexing...

April 17th 2012,
Marilyn Grua, who is over the Extraction Indexing for our stake, and my neighbor, Started me working on the Family Search Indexing program. On my computer I have been typing the names and info from the 1940 Censes, to a form for church use.

I have found this service to be very satisfying
Starting with a word of prayer for help, to know the names I do not know.
I feel that someone is standing just behind me, giving me inspiration, and sometimes names, or to see the letters different than I first thought. and where to look on the batch to find the answers I am looking for.

You are diffidently not alone doing this work. Its important work, for people are trying to trace their genealogy lines, So I try to make sure its right. I know anyone can do this, it has been made real easy to do.
But You have to ask the Lord to help you... and you receive it...
