Welcome to RootsTech. My name is Debbie Gamble. I'm your presenter for this session. How great is it to be here surrounded by people-- [CHEERING] --yes! We're surrounded by people so passionate about family history, people who live and breathe genealogy all day, every day, and isn't that what we wish we could all do--our family history, all day, every day? Well, however, this class--I mean, look at the title. For some reason, I thought it might be a good idea to teach a session on how to get away with only spending five minutes a day on this. I'm not quite sure what I was thinking, and I definitely don't know what to make of all of you for showing up, but I'm glad you are here. I hope you come away with some new information and you learn something, something I think you will find helpful along the way. Before we begin, I'm going to tell you just a little story about one afternoon I was in the kitchen with my daughter. And we all know sometimes we have great intentions, but we just need a little direction. The same is true with family history. It never hurts to have a plan of action, but this was illustrated one afternoon. My daughter and I--she was four at the time--and we were sitting in the kitchen, and she said, "Mom, what do you get when you mix fruit snacks with ice cream and cucumbers?" [LAUGHTER] And I thought about it, and I said, "Funky Salad." And she seemed okay with that response. And then she said, "Well, what do you get if you mix bananas with Krabby Patties and popcorn?" "Sweet Krabby Pop," I said. I felt like I'm getting pretty good at this game. And then I turned and looked at my daughter, and she was so sad. And I said, "Sweetie, what's wrong?" And she said, "Oh, I'm trying to make soup, but I guess I'm just not a good cooker." [LAUGHTER] So just as Gabby had no idea how to make soup and she only needed a little bit of direction, the same can go for us, especially when we have limited time to do family history. It's always great to have a good idea of what we can accomplish so that we can keep that momentum and keep the enthusiasm for family history, even on a day when we only have five minutes. As we go through this session, we're going to go through 20 different things we can do in five minutes or less. So our pace is going to be quite quick. I want to encourage you to rely upon your syllabus. Every time we see a slide like this one, all of the items bulleted here, all of these steps are in your syllabus. So there's no need to try to frantically take notes or write them down. You have them available in the syllabus, which is downloadable online or on your phone app. So we're going to start pretty basic: create a FamilySearch log-in. Many of us have probably already done this, but if you haven't, what's not to like? Billions of searchable records, millions of users, millions of more records added every year, billions of searchable names, lots of information. It's a top-rated site and it's free. So let's take a look at that. We're going to go through the screens as they would appear on your computer. We're going to start at FamilySearch.org and click on Free Account. And from here, it's only a three-step process, so pretty simple. The first page is some basic account information. And the first time you're here, make note of your username because that's the one you use to log in each time. And after we click Continue, the next screen is just a quick recovery options on your email or your phone. And we'll click Continue. And on the third screen, we have another name, but this is our contact name. So it's a little different than a username. The contact name is the name--remember all those billions of, or millions, excuse me, of registered users on FamilySearch? This is the name that they will see as you attach sources or do work on the tree, so keep that in mind as you go through. We don't want to put too much potentially identifiable information in our username. For example, your full name and your full birth date is probably too much. You want to avoid anything potentially embarrassing, like I heart Hugh Jackman or something. [LAUGHTER] Unless you really do heart Hugh Jackman, in which case, who can blame you? But keep in mind that these are the names that everybody sees on that site. After you answer a few additional questions--one of them has to do with LDS Church membership. It's a simple yes-no question, and Church membership is absolutely not required to use the site. So that's it. That's the number 1 thing. We click Create Account and we're done. And we've done it in less than five minutes. Number 2. There's a lot of words here, but we know they're all in our syllabus, so we're not going to worry about writing them down. And what we're going to do is just get started in that tree. But before we do that, I'm going to explain, if you are not familiar with FamilySearch, the concept is one tree, one tree that we all share. So you're going to enter living people manually. You're going to create them yourself, even if other people in your family have those same living people in their tree on FamilySearch. And then we're going to create--well, we're going to search for deceased people and only create them if they don't already exist in the tree. But we'll go through it so you can see the screen. So we start at FamilySearch, and we go to Family Tree and click on Tree. From here, our tree looks a little empty. It's really just us in there, but we see the Add Father, Add Mother. So I'm going to add my father, and my father is living, so I'm going to enter his names, and then I'm going to make sure I mark his status as living. That's very important to protect his privacy in the tree. And I could, of course, be entering birth date and information like that. And once I'm done, I'll click Next. Now, FamilySearch is not looking for my father out in the tree, because he's living. I'm creating my own separate record for him. So this window pops up, and I click on Create Person. Once I do that, then I get that same pop-up, but now for my father, Add Father, Mother. So we're just going to continue working back until we can tap into a deceased generation that perhaps is in the tree. And in this case, my grandfather is deceased. So we'll go ahead. I've entered his first and last name, but now I've marked him as deceased instead of living. And one thing I'll point out here--and this is very important as you work in FamilySearch--you're going to have a much more enjoyable experience if you make sure to use standardized dates and standardized places. What that does is it allows the system to help search and understand what you've input in there. So every time we use a standardized date, you can type your data in a format with which you're comfortable, but you're going to look at that drop-down that comes below and make sure you select the date from the drop-down. And you'll know you did it correctly if you've got the green check mark with standardized date, and a very similar process for standardized place. So I'm going to enter standardized dates and places and click Next. When I do that, FamilySearch has popped up a window with 15 possible matches for my grandfather. And the first one is actually him. And as a bonus, it's not just him, but it's a couple. So it happens to also have my grandmother on there, so that's great. I will be able to skip that step of adding her, because I'm going to add them both together by clicking on Add Couple Match. And, of course, if he were not here, then I just would have manually created him, like I did my father. But he's here on the list, so I will click Add Couple Match. And when I do, now my grandfather and grandmother are on my family tree. This time there's no Add Father, Add Mother. We have a little arrow instead. And if I click on that arrow, my tree expands out based on the research that others have done and is already in Family Tree. So we can see that in literally less than five minutes, I have added my father's line and tapped into an amazing amount of research. Of course, when I have more time, I could come back here, add some photos, add stories, review the research others have done. But in five minutes, I've done this on my father's line. And then, of course, I would come back and take those similar steps on my mother's line as well. All right. Number 3. When we see a slide like this--we've got an asterisk right at the end of the title. What that means is you can do this specific task on a desktop computer, on your iPhone, or on your Android. So we're going to cover the computer screens, the desktop screens, in our session today. But all of the steps are also in your syllabus, especially for those phone apps. So just know that this is something you could do on your phone every time you see that asterisk by the title. So number 3 is to upload a picture via FamilySearch Memories. So we're going to take you through the screens here. We're going to go to that URL that's in the syllabus on FamilySearch.org photos, and we're going to click Add Memories. And when we do, we have this green plus, and we'll go ahead and click that. And that gives us the option to choose files to upload. We also have an optional thing: we could use the file names, if we would like, as our titles. But that's that second arrow, which is optional there. And when we click Choose Files, that opens up the folders on our desktop, and we can navigate to wherever we may have our pictures stored. So this is a picture of my father, and I'm going to go ahead and click on that picture. That gives me the check mark, selects it, and I click Open. When I do that, here is that photo now on my FamilySearch Memories. Now, our next task is to do something similar, but on ancestry.com. But before we go there, I want to explain how the two sites differ in this. I think of FamilySearch Memories as that big family photo album that has all the pictures in one album. And when we go to Ancestry to do that, we're actually going to that person's photo album. We're going to go to a specific person and then upload a photo. So just a slightly different way of thinking about how we get our photos on these sites. And again, we can upload our picture on Ancestry from our phones. We see that asterisk, so we know it's possible. But we're going to look at this on the desktop computer. So we're going to go to ancestry.com, and in the upper left we'll click on Trees. And from there, we'll select our tree--you may have multiple trees--but we select a tree from the list. And our family tree then pops up, and so we can navigate to a person on our tree. So we're going to stick with my dad here for the example. So we'll go to Roger Littlefield. And when I click on his box on my tree, this window pops up on top of that, and I'm going to go to Profile. Once I do that, it opens up my father's profile within my personal tree on Ancestry. And I'm going to select Gallery. So it's just right there in the middle. I'll click on Gallery. When I do, if I have some other photos in there or some documents, they'll show up. But I also have this option to Upload Media. So I'm going to click on that big box with the dashed lines around it. And that takes me to this screen. And this is a great time to pause and just explain. Almost everything we're going to show you today in class can probably be done one of a half a dozen different ways. And in this case, we could open a folder and be dragging some photos across. I elected to give you steps that I could clearly write down in a syllabus. So that's why we're going to go this way. So we click on Choose Files, and it's just like FamilySearch. I'm going to go out and navigate through my folders, find the photo I want. We're going to go ahead and grab that same photo that we put on Memories, and we'll stick it on Ancestry, just for an example. So I'll select it and click Open. And when I do, it is here on his Ancestry page. And from here, I'm going to probably add a title, add some details, put in some dates, places, photo credits, descriptions, and things like that. And once I'm done, I can click Done right in that upper corner. And now I have this photo on ancestry.com on my tree. All right. Number 5. This is a little different than what you're going to see in your syllabus, and here's why. I used to find myself on Facebook looking at things that maybe my great-aunt or someone had posted, pictures of my great-grandfather and things like that. And I would often save them on my phone and then upload them to FamilySearch Memories. And you can still do that, and the instructions are in your syllabus. But there's this really cool, neat thing now on FamilySearch where you can connect in and import pictures directly from Facebook, Instagram, and Google Photos. So it's going to save us a lot of time, and it's a pretty cool thing. So we're going to take a look at it here in class. And just know that these instructions are not in your syllabus, but they're right up there. And we're going to begin at FamilySearch.org. And we'll go to slash photos, slash gallery, just to take us to the right place. When we go to FamilySearch.org/photos/gallery, we see the green plus. We also see that picture we uploaded. Plus, now I've added a couple more since then. But we see the green plus. We'll go ahead and click that. When we do, we have this window that pops up. Now, before, we chose the file and went out and uploaded it. But now we can see, too, we can go to Instagram, Facebook, or Google Photos and import directly. So, for example, in class today, we'll just go through Google Photos. I tap on that. I'm going to select my Google account, my Gmail account, and give it permissions, so click Allow. And then after that, I have all of my photos and folders on Google Photos, and I can rummage through those folders and find a picture that I'm looking for. So I'll go ahead and select--and you're all laughing. [LAUGHS] That is me a long time ago. So you go ahead and select your picture, and click Import Photos. And it's that simple. Now that photo is right there on FamilySearch Memories for my posterity someday or whomever wants to look at that engagement photo. So that was number 5. We're moving on to number 6. Remember, when we started in FamilySearch Memories, we just put a picture in the big family photo album, but we didn't say who was in there or anything like that. But another day, when we have five minutes, we can. So now we're going to cover tagging a photo on FamilySearch Memories. And again, you can do this on your phone, as well as on the desktop. But on the desktop, when we go into our memories--and the URL is on your syllabus--we're just going to click on the photo we want to tag. So let's go back to that first photo we uploaded of my dad. And when I click on it, it opens to be bigger on my screen. And I'm going to click on his face--just anywhere, really, works. A circle is going to pop up: it's probably not the right size; it's probably not centered. So I will use the square corners on that circle to drag it and size it so it more squarely encircles his face. And then you'll notice the little white box below says, "Who is in this memory?" So I will start typing my father's name. And as I type Roger, everyone in my tree with the name Roger somewhere in their name is going to pop up. But I can select from that list my father, the actual person, the actual real Roger that this is. And I want to draw your attention over to the upper right-hand corner, where it says, "People" and "0." Right now I have no one in this photo tagged, but as soon as I select my father from that list, now he appears as one of the tagged people in that photo. So that's our insurance that we've done it correctly and he's in there. If we had any idea who that kid was on his shoulder, we could probably tag him too. If you have any thoughts, let me know after class. [LAUGHTER] I can also add some more details, so I'll scroll down and probably put some dates and places and what I know about the photo as well. And that's it. We're done with tagging a photo--so super quick, something we can do in no time at all. Number 7. Record a personal memory on FamilySearch Memory. So to this point we've been in the computer, but this is actually specific to your phone. And unlike many of the tasks on our two competing phone--Android versus iPhone--the steps for this particular task are the exact same no matter what type of phone you have, between Android or iOS. So we're going to follow them and see how we can actually make an audio recording of a personal memory. We'll go to our phone, and we will find the Memories app. This is an app by FamilySearch. FamilySearch also has a Family Tree app. You can see it right next to this one. But to record an audio memory, we're going to go to the Memories app. So we'll tap on Memories, and our memories open up on our phone--probably looks a little familiar. We saw this on our desktop computer a few screens back. We'll click the green plus, and when we do, second from the bottom is an option to Record Audio. So we're going to tap right on that microphone. And this screen pops up: it gives you the option to choose a topic. That's completely optional. You may know exactly what you're planning to say, or maybe you're interviewing someone and you know exactly what you're planning to ask. But it gives you some ideas if you needed one. And then we tap Begin Recording. Now, the first time I did this, I thought I was going to have to start talking as soon as I did that. But actually what happens is this screen pops up. So you have a little time to take a breath and get started. But as soon as we tap that start, that microphone, it turns bright green and the counter on the phone begins so we know that we are now recording. So we can record that voice memory, whether it's one we're making of our own or we're interviewing someone else. And as soon as they are done, we'll tap Done. It's the green check mark right there. And once we're done, we get the "Finished" that pops up. We can give our recording a title, and then we click Save. And there it is. It pops up right in our Memories, and we're done. It's that simple. So something great to do when you've got a few minutes with a relative or just have your phone handy and have a memory of your own. And because we've been to this class, we now know how to go, when we have another five minutes, and tag. So we can tag people in that video or in that audio recording, just like we tagged them in a picture. So this particular recording is one of the memories of my grandmother with her father. So I'm going to tag both my grandmother and my great-grandfather in that memory. So when anyone is on Family Tree and goes to their memory page, they could listen to that if they would like.

Number 8. So as we are talking about making video recordings--and interviewing a relative for a story is one way, of course, to get those video recordings, or audio recordings, excuse me--sometimes we may think it's really not that hard. You just stick the microphone in front of them and let them talk. But I found this wiki on FamilySearch, and it was so informative. And I thought, "Why would you not take five minutes before you're going to do this and read a little bit about it?" So if you go to that URL, this wiki pops up, and it gives some really great tips to prepare yourself to do an interview. For example, as I was just looking through it, I saw one of the tips was as your interview is going on and as your person is speaking, the interviewee is speaking, if you have any questions, just make note of them rather than interrupt them. And we all know, especially if we're interviewing older people, it's nice just to let those memories come as they come and not interrupt their train of thought with a question. So just one of the many tips you'll see if you go to the "Creating Oral Histories" wiki on FamilySearch. And I love appendix B. It's in there with a bunch of open-ended questions. And so it helps you think of the right and appropriate questions you may want to ask. For example, I probably don't want to ask Grandma, how old were you when you got married? I mean, it's a fine question, but it's over and done in about five seconds. Perhaps a better question would be, "Grandma, tell me a little bit about your wedding day." And so more of an open-ended question is going to help elicit a great story for your family history. And in addition, too, as you go through those questions, feel free to, of course, add questions of your own. I always like having Grandma tell me about times when she disobeyed her parents. Those make for great stories. Tell me about your first kiss. That's another great story. Sometimes they're one and the same--the whole disobey parents, first kiss. [LAUGHTER] All right. Number 9. We're moving along here. So record a video memory using your smartphone. That's pretty obvious. Our kids and grandkids are great at that. But the point I wanted to make here is sometimes--I don't know about you, but when I first had children, I borrowed a friend's video camera one afternoon. And I have about 90 minutes of my six-month-old on his stomach on the carpet. It's like him and carpet. And it just goes on and on and on. And we've only watched it once. We don't dare ever bring that out again. So consider making those brief, short videos. They get seen more often. They're shared. They're passed around. And this is just an example of one of those short videos. You want to be watching, because it's over almost as soon as it begins. This is my daughter learning to wake surf up at Deer Creek Reservoir. [VIDEO PLAYBACK] Awesome. [END PLAYBACK] [LAUGHTER] There you go. Awesome. [LAUGHTER] So consider that as you're doing your video memories--to do some short ones in there so people will actually have the time to watch them. Number 10. Let me tell you a little bit about how this came about. I've talked to you about my grandma. She just turned 90 a couple of weeks ago. And whenever she starts telling stories, they are often stories we've heard before but perhaps have never written or recorded. So a few weeks ago--a couple of months ago, actually--I was in San Diego at our kitchen table, and she just started talking. So maybe you've been there, where grandma starts talking and she's telling some stories. And you know you want to remember those. So I pulled out my phone and I took a video because that's what came to mind, which was great. I have a video of my grandmother telling this great story. But I realized I would really like to put that on FamilySearch Memories, but I can't upload video. So I realized I can probably pull the audio off, but I thought it was going to be this momentous task. And I figured it could get really technical, and I didn't even know if I had the right equipment or what would I need to do. And it actually turned out to take--guess how long?--five minutes. So here's how we go. This is what I did. I went on my phone, and I found this app by Account Lab. And it's called--very cleverly named, by the way--video to MP3 converter. So MP3 is an audio file, a typical audio file. So I installed that app and opened it. And when you do, you get four simple buttons that pop up. I needed to take video and create audio. So pretty obvious, I clicked on that button. And the app grabbed all of my videos, put them there in a list for me to go through, and I selected the video of the interview with grandma. And when I tapped on that, there are a few mode format options. I just left them as is, and I just tapped on Convert. And it literally only took a few seconds before it was complete. And it created this output file. Now, from here, there's probably something I could have done with that output. But here's what I did. This is what I did, and I know someone in here could do it better, but I started to play it. And when you play, it starts playing the recording, of course, but then you also get that share icon. So I tapped on the Share icon, and I just emailed it to myself. So from my phone, went and pulled up my Gmail on my phone and sent myself an email with that MP3 file as an attachment. Then I ran over to my computer, pulled up my email on my computer, and saved that attachment somewhere on my computer. When I do that--now I'm going to go to FamilySearch/photos/gallery, go to that Memory section of FamilySearch and click on the green plus. From here, I clicked Choose Files, and I went out to that folder where I just saved that MP3 on my desktop, and I click Open. And now it's in my Memories, so turned out to be pretty simple and easy. And now we have that audio memory in FamilySearch Memories. And, of course, we're going to tag it too. Don't forget that part. And we can also add some details, comments, stories, things like that, on that same--so when you tap on that, click on that memory, or that audio recording on your memories, this window pops up, where you can add those additional comments. All right. Number 11. Address a FamilySearch recommended task. We can do this on our phones or on the computer. If you're familiar with Ancestry and the shaky leaf, this is kind of like that, but it's the FamilySearch take on it. And this is what it looks like. So we go to FamilySearch.org, and we look for that red bar, and it says, "Recommended Tasks." And everyone listed below that are people in your family tree. Now, you probably won't recognize all of those names. They're not just your direct-line ancestors, but it's the people they married and the children they had and the people those people married and so on. But know that all of those people fit somewhere in your family tree. And in this example, we can see that there are some blue record hints available. What that means is as the algorithms in FamilySearch have churned away, they have found some possible historical records that they believe might be of your ancestor or your ancestor may be listed on them. So we're going to tap on one of those and see what that looks like. This is for Anna Marie Jeandelle. And it's a death certificate in Pennsylvania. If I click the down arrow, I get even a little more detail, including the exact day of her death. And I can compare that to that summary information of her that's right above. And if I think it's probably a match, I'm going to click on Review. From there, this window pops up, and it may help to know that everything in that faint gray rectangle--it's pretty subtle--is a summary of the information I have on her in the family tree. So I can use what's in that horizontal gray rectangle above to compare it to what's in the white square that's been indexed or transcribed off of the historical record. So I can compare the two to see if that is a match. And if it is, I'm going to click Attach to Family Tree. When I do, the source linker opens up. Now, we could attend an entire class on the source linker, but we're doing this in five minutes, so we're going to just hit the high-level things here. From this screen, I'll click Compare. And it brings up everything on the left is what's on that historical record that's been indexed for Anna Marie. And then everything on the right is information in my tree already. So anything new that I want to bring over, there is that handy little add plus, so I can click those new pieces of information over to her personal page, and I'll probably add a reason for why I'm attaching the source, and then I click Attach. And I'm done. That's one thing, and I'm done. I click Return to Record. So don't forget you can do that on your phone too. So great way to spend five minutes. Number 12. Attach an Ancestry source to FamilySearch using RecordSeek. I first learned about RecordSeek at RootsTech many years ago--or several years ago, anyway--and it's a great, great resource. If you've never used it, but you've been that person where you found something on Ancestry and you're wishing you could easily create a source on FamilySearch, you can with RecordSeek. And maybe you've heard about it, but let's see what it looks like. So we're going to go to RecordSeek.com. And on this page, there's a green button at the bottom that says, "RecordSeek." We're going to click on that button and drag it up to the bookmarks bar in our browser. And it is that simple. So notice right now for bookmarks I've got American Express and Google, but as soon as I drag RecordSeek up there, now I have three bookmarks in my bar. RecordSeek is one of them. It's actually a plug-in, but it works like a--it's a plug-in bookmarked on our bar. So we can do that now. You can do that anytime, and then you're ready. Because then the next time you're in ancestry.com, and you find a historical record or some other source out there that you would like to have on your tree in FamilySearch, then you're going to follow these steps. Now, the first thing I'm going to tell you is technically optional, but I do this every single time. What this is is a birth record for my grandfather. And we can see in the red box I've added this is all the transcribed information off of that historical record that is on FamilySearch. I'm going to highlight that. So I start with my mouse. Just click down, and drag it down to the bottom of all the information. And I'll show you why I do that; you'll see it in a minute. So with that information on my grandfather's birth highlighted, now I click RecordSeek--that button that I've bookmarked. This window pops up. I want to put it in FamilySearch, so I'll do that. I'll click on that. And then I get this screen. Notice that my source has a title, it has a URL, it has a citation, and it even has notes. And those notes are what I highlighted on that first page. So that's why I recommend you do that. I like having that handy information right there. From here, I'm probably going to tag the source to certain events. And because that window pops up when I click that green button, and because it's his birth record, I'll checkmark name and birth, and then I click Next. Now, from this screen, if I know my grandfather's or have handy or available, I'm going to enter his person ID from FamilySearch. If not, I could search for him using some key information. And I'll click Next. I'll put in a reason as to why I am attaching this source to him on FamilySearch, and I'll click Create and Attach. This window pops up. And if we wanted to see what that looks like on FamilySearch, we click that blue button. FamilySearch opens up, and this is that sources page. So now I can see, along with some of the other FamilySearch sources that I have out there already, I have added the birth record from Ancestry. That was number 12. We're on to number 13. Upload a FamilySearch tree to Ancestry. This is something else I learned about at RootsTech, but I thought when it comes right down to it this might get a little complex, because I don't know anything about Gedcom files and all these things that you guys probably do, and I just wondered how this was going to work. But, of course, it's super simple, because we can do it in five minutes or less. So here's how it goes. We go to ancestry.com and we click Trees. From here, at the bottom, the last option we have is to Import Tree from FamilySearch. At this point, if we haven't been logged into both sites, we may be prompted to sign into FamilySearch. And then we're going to give our tree a name. You probably want to put FamilySearch in there, but that's up to you. And we click Save. The window pops up to tell us that Ancestry is working on pulling that data over. We click Continue. And literally, it's super fast. You'll see that it's completed and you've got the green check mark and it's here. Now, why do we want to do this? We probably don't have time to talk about all the reasons why, but certainly it's a great way to take advantage of those search algorithms that are unique to Ancestry versus FamilySearch. The little shaky leaf hints are out there too. So we did a recommended task on FamilySearch. Let's look at a shaky leaf on Ancestry. We can do it on our phones. We can do it on the computer. This is what it looks like on your desktop. We're going to go to ancestry.com. This is another--we know there's a million ways to do this and get there, so do whatever you like, but just know this is one way. When you go to ancestry.com on their front page, right in the middle toward the bottom, we'll see View People with Hints. So if we click on that, immediately what pops up is the screen like this, with different records, pictures, things like that, of people in your tree. So this particular one looks like a World War II draft registration for Norman Maxton. Up along the top, I have some information about him from my tree, and then I can compare it to that high-level summary. And if it looks like it could be a match, I'm going to click Review. And this window opens up. We have a white box that's horizontal across the top. That's not everything, but that's a summary of what I have in my tree for Norman. And then also, I have in a white box that I've outlined in red--just so we could catch what we're talking about here today--this is everything on that document that's been indexed or transcribed about him. So I can compare the two to make sure I've got the right person. And I'm going to take this moment to mention--we've seen this as we go along--the original is there too. I always look at the original because there's always so much great information on there, and many times it hasn't been added to the record. And draft registration cards are fun too because you find out if they have a lazy eye or--I don't know--their height, their color of hair, but also sometimes funny characteristics. So anyway, you are going to--if they match, you're going to click on Yes. And this is looking like a really good match. Very similar to the source linker on FamilySearch--everything on the left is what's on that historical record. Everything on the right is the information I have in my tree. So I can compare them side by side. And I can add over any new information. In this case, I'm going to add over his residence in 1942, which is Chester, Pennsylvania. So I'll checkmark both of those boxes, and that brings it over to my tree. It visually does that on the computer screen, so I can see what I'm adding to his record on my tree. And then I click Save to Tree. That's it, and I'm done. Number 15. Attach all Ancestry sources for an individual to FamilySearch. So if we've done some work on Ancestry and we'd like to bring over all of those sources to FamilySearch, rather than doing that manually, we can link the records. And this is how it looks. We're going to go to ancestry.com and click on Trees. And then we're going to select our tree from that drop-down. And out on our tree, as everything pops up here, we'll navigate to a person on our tree. So I'm going to click on Christopher Wawro. When I do, this box pops up, and I'll go to his profile. When I'm on his profile, notice in that upper right-hand corner--it's pretty small--but there is a FamilySearch icon. And if I click on that, I'll get a window like this that pops up. And it is searching my tree on FamilySearch to see if it can find Christopher Wawro out there. And it did automatically, very quickly. So I'm going to select that radio button to confirm that that's the right person I was looking for. So that turns solid green. And then as a last fail-safe, because we wouldn't want to link two people that are not the same person, as a final fail safe, I can compare what's on FamilySearch--I've outlined it in red here--with what I have in my Ancestry tree just to make sure I've got the right person before I connect them. And I click Connect Person. And now, next to that little FamilySearch icon up in the box, I have a blue check mark. Now I know that those two records are now linked between FamilySearch and Ancestry. All right. Number 16. In your syllabus, there's a URL that is no longer accurate. So the syllabus was written months and months ago and turned in. And things change. So this is a new URL--it's quite long. But the final slide I'll have up here will have my email address. Feel free to email me if you don't get a picture of it or get it written down. But it's a great resource--it's the LDS Media Library. They have 20 videos that are five minutes or less. This is the first one out there. It's episode 1, "Quick Start." And in three and a half minutes, we can learn a little bit more about how to do family history. So a great place to go to get started when you've got just a few minutes. Number 17. Are you hanging in there? We're almost done. Locate the nearest family history library. You can go to FamilySearch.org/locations, and you can type in an address anywhere in the world and click Submit. And when you do that, a map will pop up. The little red icon is the address that you've entered. And then you'll see a green icon or multiple green icons of nearby family history centers. The icon is not just a little picture on there. You can click on that. And when you click on that, for example, based on the address I had entered, this brings up the Lindon Utah Family History Center. It gives me the address, the hours, even gives me a picture of it so I can see it as I drive by and miss the turn. And then also, many times there will be directions and website there. So, for example, if you click on Directions, it gives you the map on how to get to the nearest family history center--a wonderful resource for you as you work on your family history. Number 18. Search records on FamilySearch. So let me explain this. So we've been to FamilySearch, and we saw that list of--for lack of a better word--random ancestors that just popped up that we could be doing research on. But many times we have a specific line, a specific person we're looking for. So how do we do research on a specific person, not just what may be recommended at FamilySearch? That's what we're going to do in this step. Here are the screens. We're going to go to FamilySearch.org, and we're going to click on Family Tree. And then we click on Tree. That brings up our family tree. We'll navigate through the tree. We're going to go to my great-great-grandmother Eliza Jane Clayter. When I find her in the tree, I click on her name. That box will pop up that you see there, and we'll click on Person. And you may have another way that you get to their person page. This is one of those things you can do several different ways, but that's one way that works. I don't know if you can see that picture of Eliza. She's clearly a very happy person. [LAUGHTER] But when we're on her person page--she's not going be happy with me someday because I tell jokes about her all the time and her picture. [LAUGHS] On that page, over on the right-hand side, we have--one of the options is Search Records. Now, in this screen it is the option at the top. But did you know you can move those around? You click that little cogwheel thing, and you can move those boxes in FamilySearch up and down. So if you work a certain way and like one at the top, you can do that. So we're seeing that one at the top. Later on in a minute, we're going to see a different one at the top. That's why they move around, because I move them around. But under Search Records, we have four options. They're not just logos. It's not just MyHeritage advertising on FamilySearch to go to their site. They're actually linked. And when you click on them, all of your search will prepopulate based on the information you have on this page. We're going to stick in FamilySearch, though, and we're going to click on the FamilySearch one. And that takes us to a page that looks like this or similar. And again, across horizontally is some summary information that I have in my tree for Eliza. And it's there to help me make a judgment as to the records that are popping up below, so I can see if any of them will work or match for her. Now, notice the first two in that list have a pedigree icon by them. So that tells us that that has already been attached to the family tree. But the third one in the list is an 1850 census. There's no pedigree. So I haven't attached this. No one in my family--we've not come across it before, but here it is. And I'm going to look at the name; the name is quite similar, of course. I'm going to look at some dates. I'm going to look at some people. Those are her father and mother's name. So this is looking pretty good and could possibly, almost highly likely, be a match for Eliza. So I'm going to click that Record Details icon. It's that little tiny square with the arrow on it. And when I do that, it keeps Eliza's summary up there for me to continue to reference. And in the box below is some of the information that's been indexed off of that record. So I'll compare them: Eliza, two years old, in Vinalhaven, Maine. That's my girl. So I'm going to go ahead and click Attach to Family Tree. And now we're at the source linker. So we were here before when we were doing the recommended task. Now we're just here on one that we were looking for ourselves. And we're going to go ahead and click Compare. There's some new information I'm going to bring over, because now we know where she was living in 1850. So I will add that to her person page and probably put in a reason for why I am attaching the source, and I'll click Attach. Now the funny thing about this is we think we're done, but instead this page pops up. So we might be going over our five minutes at this point, but it's a census record and she's with a family. So we're going to repeat those same steps for her parents, as well as some of her siblings. FamilySearch will attempt to match those up, and most of the time it's pretty good. But you notice a little double arrow on the far left? We can click and drag those if they're not lined up with the right people. But we're going to go through that same process for everybody on the record and get this attached to everybody in her family that was living in that home in 1850. And when we're done, we see everything turns a solid green. That Compare icon is gone. And we click Return to Record. Now, from here, your syllabus says to go to Search Results, to click on that. And for some reason, that button is missing. So I'll be tracking down some people here this week to find out what happened to it. But you can go--instead of going back to that list, which is no longer an option from this page, you can just click on her name and execute your search again to continue looking. Number 19. So this is something I did: mailing a copy of a picture for identification. Before my grandfather died, he gave me a box of pictures and we identified everybody in them that we could think of or that he remembered or that I could think to ask about. And one of the things we had in that box was a school photo for him. But I hadn't thought to ask him which person he was in that school photo. And after he passed away, I was looking at it, and I thought maybe I knew who he was, but I really wanted to know for sure. So this is something I did. I just took that photo and made a copy of it onto a regular piece of paper. And now I can write on it. So I drew little arrows, and I put some questions on there. I wrote a quick note off to Karen because I figured Karen would know. And I included a self-addressed, stamped envelope just to make it easy on everybody and sent that off in the mail. And Karen is awesome, of course, because a week or so later, I got this back. She had identified my grandpa. She'd also identified his best friend, Jack, that's in the picture, and wrote me a lovely little note on the back. So simple thing, but sometimes we skip and forget those simple things. So I sent that off. Now, this is not in your syllabus, but, of course, you've been to this class. So now you know you're going to take that photo and go tag it. And now we know how to do that. So I went out to FamilySearch Memories, found my grandpa in the photo, did the little circle to tag him, and put in some information about his class picture, approximate date and location of that.

Number 20. We are here. Printing a family group record for a non-online family member to review. That non-online family member is Roger Littlefield. You met him at the beginning. It's my dad. And he doesn't want to see it on the computer. He wants it on a piece of paper. So we may know people like that in our lives. But he wants to know what I'm working on, and he wants to know what's happening, or he wants to see something. So we can pull it up on a phone or a computer, but he wants it on paper. This is how you do this. And you can easily do this from your phone or from the computer. So it's super slick. And this is what you do. You go to FamilySearch.org. Click on Family Tree. Go to your tree. For this example, we're doing a family group record for my grandfather. So we click on Lynwood Littlefield, and we go to his person page. Now, somewhere over on the right, we have a Print box there. And actually, we can see there are several options. We can print a pedigree chart or a fan chart. My dad wanted a family group record, so that's what I printed, and that's what family is. So when you click on Family, the PDF for that opens up. And you can see a print icon right there in the upper right. You click on Print, and it comes out right at your printer. So another way just to spend a few minutes and further your work on your family history. And folks, that's 20. We're done. We made it. So don't forget to download the syllabus. [APPLAUSE] Thank you. And you can email me at Gamble.Deborah@gmail.com. You may have some questions. We went through that quickly, so feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Otherwise, thank you, and have a great time at RootsTech. [APPLAUSE]
