The chapel is in the Provo "River Bottoms" behind the Jamestown shopping plaza on the east side of University Avenue. You get to it by turning east from University Avenue at 3700 North ("Will's Pit Stop") and then south on 180 East. There is a map showing the location on the group's website http://uvpafug.org .

The main presentation for this meeting will be by Mary E. V. Hill on USING A DIGITAL CAMERA IN GENEALOGY. She will discuss how to use a digital camera for many things in genealogy, for example, copying records in libraries and archives and photographing tombstones and other items. Mary E. Vassel Hill was born in Norwalk, Connecticut and obtained a BA in Family and Community History and an Master of Library Science from Brigham Young University. She was a Reference Librarian at BYU (1989-1992), Instructor in Family History and genealogical research at BYU (1992-1995), and joined the staff of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City as a cataloger in Spanish and Portuguese (1995-1998). In 1998 Mary joined the US/Canada reference staff and was an instructor in various aspects of genealogical research. She served as an LDS Missionary at the Family History Library (2006-2008). She is an accredited genealogist in Eastern and Southern states research, and is a sought after speaker at genealogy fairs and conferences. The workshop she developed on setting up a paper filing system in this day of the computer has been particularly popular. She is also a mother and grandmother and author of several genealogy books. Her website is http://www.maryevhill.com .

Following the main presentation there will be several classes taught concerning technology and family history. As usual, there will be something for everyone at all levels of expertise. The classes currently scheduled for this meeting are the following:

BYU conference - win a free computer from Legacy Family Tree

The following is from Legacy Family Tree

Here's a little extra incentive to stop by the Legacy Family Tree booth at the BYU conference next week (begins Tuesday, July 28 in Provo, Utah). We're giving away a free Acer Netbook PC. And if you're not in the area, we've got a special "50% off" deal for you below.

You do not have to register for the conference to be eligible to win the computer. But you do have to turn in the entry form (it's a crossword puzzle) to the Legacy booth by 4:00pm on Thursday and be present for the drawing. The drawing will be held at the end of our "Legacy & New FamilySearch" class which begins at 5:15pm in room 2258. The class is free and is open to the public.

Meet the Legacy developers
Legacy's Geoff Rasmussen (that's me) as well as Legacy's co-founder, Ken McGinnis, will be at the conference - so bring your questions and suggestions - we look forward to talking with you.

Download the entry form
All the contest rules (like you must be present to win, etc.) are explained on the entry form. Click here to download the form, or you can pick one up from the Legacy booth starting Tuesday morning. If you can't make it to the conference, download the form anyways - it's a fun crossword puzzle!

Is this a real computer?
It is so real, that I personally use an identical Acer Netbook for all of my presentations throughout the world. In fact, the Legacy seminar that we recently published online was recorded using this Acer Netbook. Actually, that's not all the way correct. The netbook we're giving away has a 10.1 inch screen. Mine is only 8.9 inches. It's got a "roomy" hard drive (160GB), and the 1GB of memory is enough to run its operating system (Windows XP). It also has a digital media card reader, built-in webcam, built-in stereo speakers, 3 USB ports, and built-in wireless so you can surf the Internet. Yes, it's a real computer and a real contest. Dick Eastman, our 2007 Legacy Genealogy Cruise speaker and editor of Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter, recently wrote about how great these netbooks are. DearMYTLE, our 2008 Legacy Genealogy Cruise speaker also wrote about netbooks here.

If you can't make it to the conference...
...we've got something special for you too. Purchase any Legacy Family Tree product (Legacy software, manuals, training videos) at 50% off. Already have Legacy? This is a great chance to get Legacy for a friend or family member. This special promotion ends on the last day of this BYU conference (July 31, 2009). Just use the following coupon code at checkout:

So, why are we doing this again?
Mostly for fun. But mainly we want as many people as possible to come see our "Legacy & New FamilySearch" class Thursday evening. We will not be announcing that our new FamilySearch interaction tools are now available to download (the crossword puzzle tells you when it will be released), but we will show you what the new software looks like and how close we are to its official certification.

Hope to see you all there!

Where Have I Been?

My blogging status of late has been absent. I just got back from a 16 day trip back east. The primary purpose was to attend a Harris family reunion in Glens Falls, New York. All my siblings were going to be there and we were going to honor my father's 75th birthday at the reunion. My husband Bill and I were the only ones in my immediate family attending. My kids needed to scrap up the money to come but none of them quit got there. I am actually glad it was just my husband and I that went because the car would of been too crowded otherwise.

Yes, we drove about 7,000 plus miles all together on this trip. That is a lot of time in the car. I am so grateful for air conditioning :) Since we were making the trip by car we decided to stop at LDS historical places along the way. It was the first time I ever went to Winter Quarters in Nebraska. We could feel spirits following us in the cemetery. It was way cool and brought tears to your eyes too. My husband said it felt like Gettysburg's battle fields when he visited there.

We stayed several days in Nauvoo and just didn't want to leave. It is a beautiful, peaceful place. We enjoyed wagon rides, plays and pageants. We visited the restored shops and homes. We looked in the antique shops in town. Our first and last place to visit in Nauvoo was the temple. When we were there last in 1991 there was no Nauvoo temple and no plans for it to be rebuilt either. It was wonderful to see it majestically sitting a top the hill for all to see. As I looked at the statues of Joseph and Hyram longingly leaving Nauvoo before the martyrdom I could understand a part of how they felt.


In Kirtland, Ohio I did the first of my genealogy research. I wanted to find the graves of Murray and Grace (Harris) Jenkins. They joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1830 and came to Kirtland and never left. I found this couple while doing a Google search of Harrisena, the community I grew up in and am somehow related to all that lived there. I knew how I was related to Murray Jenkins but not Grace Harris. Her obituary tells of how her family in Harrisena offered her lands if she would disown the church, which she never did. They must of disowned her because I cannot find out how she is related to my Harris' but I know that she is. I didn't discover anything further while in Kirtland. I have to send away to the state for her death certificate because the town didn't have it.

With the help of the LDS visitor center I found the location of the cemetery and how to get to it. We easily drove there. When we stopped the car I got out and walked a distance right to the grave. I just knew where it was but I had never been there before. Tears came to both mine and my husbands eyes as we read their tombstone. I could just feel this longing for them to be connected back to the family. I was the first Harris relative to visit Grace's grave since the family had disowned her. It was very touching. My husband was all choked up and I said to him "Your not a used to it as I am." It was great that he could feel the spirit and importance of my doing genealogy work while on this trip. He was a great support to me in my efforts. He took the vast majority of 1,800 plus photographs we took while on this trip.

After Kirtland we stopped in Palymra, New York for the Hill Cumorah pageant. It has greatly changed since we last saw it. Much more professionally and technically done. I haven't decided if I like it better or not. It was still very good. Since we were there last the Palymra temple has been built. The roads have changed. They have also rebuilt the Smith log home and added the ability to walk through the sacred grove from the back of the log home. The path is much longer. I was to tired to walk the whole distance. I just love visiting this area.

Finally I arrived in New York. My dad took my husband and I around to the different cemeteries and homes so I could take pictures. At my first cemetery, the Harrisena or John J. Harris Memorial Cemetery I found that the church there was preparing for a benefit sale. We got to look around and I found this spice rack with all these empty clean bottles with stoppers in them. The idea popped in my head that they were perfect for me to take little samples of the dirt from each of the cemteries and homes that I visited. I was so excited about doing this. I bought the bottles and did just that. I was able to bring home a little piece of my heritage. It is one of my most treasured items from the whole trip.

The weather was perfect for taking pictures in the cemeteries. It was cloudy and the tombstones look like they came out clear. It was wonderful to finally get pictures of generations of ancestors tombstones. (The picture shows my 4th great-grandfather's tombstone, one of the oldest and most difficult to read.) The Seeyle cemetery brought back so many memories of my childhood spent sitting among those stones wondering how I was related to the individuals there. This time I really knew them because I have my ancestry etched in my mind.

The family reunion came next. It was a wonderfully successful event. First we where going to have the reunion for all the descendants of Marshall and Sarah (Miller) Harris, my grandparents. Then it grew to the descendants of the great-grandparents Leroy and Alice (Osberg) Harris. By the time it made the local papers it was all the descendants of my 5th great-grand father Moses Harris, Jr. the Revolutionary War spy. No one got a good count as to how many showed up. (The picture shows my generation of cousins - no spouses. I can already tell we are missing some that were there.)

We were out doors at a park in a covered pavillon. I was so happy to find I had a power outlit for my laptop. I was able to pin up my wall chart for everyone to look at and set up shop to take down family history information. I was busy the whole reunion. I only got something to eat because my brother brought it over to me. I was so tickled that so many expressed their thanks that I was keeping records of the family. I sent my husband around to take pictures for me. Thank goodness for name tags! It was a long beautiful day. I so needed to be there and was grateful that I could make it.

The days after the reunion I did genealogy research with my faithful husband by my side. I was even able to attend the Northeastern New York Genealogical Society meeting. The Crandall Library in New York has a wonderful genealogy room. I could spend my lifetime in there and still not gather all the genealogy information I want or needed from it. It was kind of sad that I only had five days to do all my research.

I spent two days in Greenwich, New York to work on my mother's side of the family. My Aunt Florence is the only surviving sibling of my mother's 13 brothers and sisters. It was great to see her. She had just gathered a bunch of photographs from a distance relative. We identified who everyone was and my husband took digital photographs of them all. (The picture shows my great-grandmother Hattie Hewitt Weatherwax and her daughter Hattie) Then we visited the cemetery where many ancestors are buried and we were able to take photographs. It was raining but the pictures appear to have come out well. Once again I took my dirt sample and have a piece of my ancestors with me.

My second day in Greenwich I visited the town clerk and got several copies of death certificates. Unfortunately most have parents unknown, at least that is what the clerk told me. I have yet to go over all of them. The clerks are very organized there I was impressed. After getting the death certificates she went through her database she had just finished creating and told me exactly where all these people are buried. I think she was impressed to build that database and have it finished just because I was coming on the scene. One sad thing to note is that all the town records burned in 1910 so I wasn't able to go to far back in the records, only up to 1880 and those were recovered from the state. With this database the clerk had created it cross references all the transcribed cemeteries in the area so I could find out all the Weatherwax's and other family names in the area.

The Gill room in the Greenwich Library was another spot I could of spent days in. Of course right before leaving I found the one reference book I could of spent days on. I took down what I could from the index and hopefully I can get the rest of the information later. At least I have clues.

My days of research sadly ended and we hurried back to Utah in a marathon 3 day trip. We arrived home at 1:00 am EST Monday morning, which was 11:00 p.m. MST Sunday night. I got to bed at 1:00 am and then had to get up at 6:30 am Monday morning to get ready for work. It has been a marthon trip with much done, visited and seen. I had no naps while I was gone and my health stood up to the pace. Now that I am home I am trying to recover from the trip.

Right before leaving on the trip I had bought some Chinese food and a bunch of fortune cookies. I chuckled as all my fortunes referred to my trip. My last one said "You will be traveling and coming into a fortune." Now true it was. I did come back with a fortune in genealogy materials. I also had good fortune all along the way. Great parking spots, last room at the motels, in fact my husband and I joked all the along the way on my great fortune. I truely have been blessed.

Thankfully my sons didn't burn down the house while I was gone. The only mishap while away was that my oldest son decided to clean and he started with the freezer. He threw away everything past it's expiration date. I could of cried. He didn't realize that the expiration date was if the meat was still fresh and not frozen. The freezer is pretty much empty now, my my how much room there is.

Now that I am home and starting to work on reading my emails and catching up on blog posts I am sure you will see a lot of posts from me regarding what I missed while away. The really big job now is compiling all the new information I have found. This will keep me busy for a long, long time.

See ya tomorrow, for tomorrow is always another genealogy day!

RootsMagic 4 Receives FamilySearch Helper Certification

RootsMagic becomes First Desktop Genealogy Software to Allow Helper Access to New FamilySearch

SPRINGVILLE, Utah. — July 9, 2009 — RootsMagic, Inc. announced the immediate availability of an update to their RootsMagic 4 genealogy software which is now FamilySearch "Helper" certified. RootsMagic 4 is the first- and currently the only- desktop genealogy software to offer this feature and certification.

Helper Certified

As a "Helper Certified" application, RootsMagic 4 allows members of the LDS Church who have access to New FamilySearch to log into a special "helper mode" for another member who does not yet have access to the system. This allows the member being helped to view, update, and synchronize their data with New FamilySearch as well as check, reserve, and request temple ordinances- even if they personally do not have an account on New FamilySearch. All that is required is their name, birthdate, and the last five digits of the LDS Church membership number.

Assisting the New FamilySearch Roll-out to Utah and Idaho

Temple districts in Utah and Idaho are among the last to transition over to the New FamilySearch system. To prevent duplication of temple work, members in these areas who do not have access to New FamilySearch are instructed to meet with a family history consultant or visit a family history center and search the New FamilySearch system to determine whether or not temple ordinances have already been performed for deceased ancestors. RootsMagic makes it easy for the family history consultants and family history centers to accomplish this:

1. Import the member's data into RootsMagic. RootsMagic can directly import data from PAF, Family Tree Maker (through 2006), Family Origins, Legacy Family Tree, and GEDCOM.
2. Sign in as a helper for the member.
3. Search duplicate ancestor records to ensure temple ordinances are needed.
4. Select the ordinances for each ancestor needing temple work and reserve them.
5. Print the Family Ordinance Request to be taken to the temple.

RootsMagic is also the only desktop genealogy software currently certified to reserve temple ordinances and print the Family Ordinance Request.

New FamilySearch Made Easy

"We're very excited to be the first software to offer the 'helper' ability," said Michael Booth, vice-president. "As a Utah-based company, we've been patiently waiting for New FamilySearch to be available to our friends and neighbors. While many still don't have direct access to New FamilySearch, the helper ability is the next-best thing." Bruce Buzbee, president, said, "Our mission is, 'Family History Made Easy', and that is exactly what this is. To submit and track temple ordinances used to be a long, complicated process involving many files and floppy disks. Together with FamilySearch, we've been able to simplify it to a few clicks and a single, printed page."

RootsMagic also simplifies other tasks when working with New FamilySearch. Recently, RootsMagic 4 received awards for "Easiest to Sync" and "Best Dashboard" at the 2009 FamilySearch Developer Awards. Video tutorials, demonstrating how easy it is to work with New FamilySearch using RootsMagic 4 are available at http://www.rootsmagic.com/fs.

Free Trial Available

A free trial version of RootsMagic 4 is available at http://www.rootsmagic.com. The trial version allows a person to import their data, add information, and play with RootsMagic's major features without any time limitation. "We're so excited about this new release, we wanted to give everyone a risk-free option to try it for themselves," said Buzbee.

Users of other genealogy software products will find it easy to experiment with RootsMagic 4 using their own data. RootsMagic can directly import data from PAF, Family Tree Maker (through 2006), Family Origins, and Legacy Family Tree. It can also read data using the popular GEDCOM format.

About RootsMagic, Inc.

For over 20 years, RootsMagic, Inc. has been creating computer software with a special purpose- to unite families. One of our earliest products- the popular "Family Origins" software, introduced thousands of people to the joy and excitement of family history.

That tradition continues today with "RootsMagic", our award-winning genealogy software which makes researching, organizing, and sharing your family history fun and easy. "Personal Historian" will help you easily write and preserve your life stories. "Family Reunion Organizer" takes the headaches out of planning those important get-togethers. And "Family Atlas" creates beautiful and educational geographic maps of your family history.

Miles Meyers' Family History Center Materials

It's been a while since I've mentioned Miles Meyers excellent job he is doing on creating Family History Center materials on his website. I just spotted this email that he posted on the FHCNET and LDSFHCConsultants Mailing lists and I thought I would pass it along. As always Miles has done and excellent job, keep up the good work.

FamilySearch.org power point presentations available.

I have recently been asked to do some presentations on FamilySearch.org. The first one was earlier this month to an Elder's Quorum fireside. The next one is coming up on July 11 and will be to the Southern Genealogical Exchange Society meeting.

The first presentation focuses on some of the scriptural reasons why we do family history as well as focusing on the materials that are being provided by FamilySearch on its various websites.

The second presentation is for the general public, explaining what FamilySearch is developing and what is currently available.

Both of these presentations are about 45 minutes in length and are in powerpoint format. They can be found at http://milesmeyer.googlepages.com/additionalfhcmaterials

Also, I just did a talk in Sacrament yesterday and have provided a copy of my talk on Independence Day and Family History on my blog for anyone who may be interested. That can be found at http://milesgenealogy.blogspot.com/

Hope these are inspirational to my fellow FHC consultants.

New FamilySearch update - 01 July 2009

Last night I was talking to my brother Randy, who happens to be a member of the stake presidency in Provo. He told me he had just tried to get on new FamilySearch and it let him register. I had not heard anything official regarding Provo family history consultants and priesthood leaders getting access, but I wasn't surprised either.

Consultants in the following Utah and Idaho temple districts have been sent instructions to begin viewing the online training modules listed on the Prepare tab. These consultants may also begin using the new.familysearch.org Web site.

• St. George Utah
• Mount Timpanogos Utah

• Salt Lake Utah
• Ogden Utah
• Draper Utah
