New FamilySearch Hits the Wasatch Front

WAHOO!! It's official my day has come! The Oquirrah Mountain Temple District also received word today. There may be others so I will keep you posted.

New Process for Preparing Ancestral Names for the Temple

24 August 2009

To: Family History Consultants in the Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple District

This e-mail is to notify you that within the next several weeks, the stake in which you live will begin using a new Web site as part of the process for preparing ancestral names for the temple. The Internet address for the new Web site is new.familysearch.org. You should be able to register in the new Web site immediately upon receipt of this e-mail. TempleReady will no longer be used for this process.

The attached information packet will help you prepare to help members use this new process once the temple begins accepting the new Family Ordinance Request forms in place of TempleReady disks. Copies of the attached release packet will also be sent by U. S. mail. Center directors will receive their copy directly from the Family History Department. The copy for family history consultants will be sent to their bishop in their normal weekly priesthood mailing. An informational DVD will accompany the copy sent by mail.

Important note: You must have the Adobe Reader installed on your computer to view the attachments in this e-mail. It may be downloaded for free at www.adobe.com. To install the Adobe Reader, click on the Get Adobe Reader button on the Adobe Web site home page, and follow the instructions.

It is important for you to follow the preparation instructions found on the New FamilySearch Utah and Idaho Release section of the consultant registration website. Simply go to consultant.familysearch.org and click on the Click here to go to the Utah and Idaho instructions button to view the preparation instructions.

We will send you a follow-up e-mail announcing the actual release date approximately one week before the release in your stake.

If you have any questions, please contact FamilySearch Support.

Sincerely,

Congrats!

Have you used RootsMagic to start your work?

I'm still confused about which program to use. I'd rather use a Mac program but still nothing that I'm ecstatic about using.

Yes, I exclusively use RootsMagic 4 for my genealogy research. The move from Legacy to RM4 was a breeze. I love how RM4 syncs with NFS. Very intuitive for me, so I have found my program of choice.

Good luck in your quest. I understand how hard it can be to find something that just fits right. There are so many good programs to go over and find out if they click with you.
