The church is currently in the middle of launching a new family history site. We had a lesson on how to use it Sunday. And, what great timing! Since Patsy passed away, Husband is FIRED UP about genealogy.
I have never really gotten too into the family history stuff because mine is pretty much done for generations and generations, back to the 1400's on both sides of the family. However, they've combined all of these genealogical resources and now all you have to do is search for your ancestor's names and most of the time, if they have passed away, they just pop up! I now have my own pedigree chart (almost completely filled in, thanks to other people's hard work)! SO EXCITING!
I really have no idea how to find people whose names I don't already know and to be honest, I'm too involved being amazed at how my entire pedigree chart is showing up out of thin air to care.
The great news?? We've already found several people on Husband's side who need temple work. FIRED UP! I'm aspiring to be a genealogical nerd (at least until it gets hard, then I might have to quit).

We were the first stake EVER to get trained on the new website, and I must say, it really fired me up. I have already taken names with me when I did work with the youth. It really is fun. Crazy, ain't it. And yes, our house is a barrel of laughs all the time. I can't wait for your tag with Nick's answers...:)
Forget the whole "how great shall be your joy if you bring one soul"...I'm going to build an entire subdivision in heaven!
