  1. new.familysearch.org When you put this in the search section of your web browser, you will see several options but look for the official site www.new.familysearch.org Don't forget the . between new and familysearch.org When you get on to the site, there will be a picture of Pres Monson on the homepage. It will provide you with options. The first one is to register. You will need your membership number (found on your temple recommend or available from your ward clerk. ) You will also need your confirmation date. You will need to choose a username and password. Read the screen as you go and there is a tutorial for your use . Take care and if I can help in any way, don't hesitate to drop a line.
  2. click on the search button on the top and it will provide you with fields to fill in. If the name of the person that you are searching for is in the system, it will provide you with their information and you can click on it and add it to your pedigree or family group record. It can be useful as a search item without attaching it to your pedigree as well. If you don't find the person your are looking for and have the information to submit anyway, you can click on the add tab and type in the information you have. Once you have the information entered, the icon relating to that family will change to a temple with a moving arrow. CLick on that arrow and follow the prompts to make a temple submission happen. If you make a mistake, you can fix it. If the information is wrong and someone else submitted it, you can't change what someone else submitted but you can dispute it. It is much better than temple ready. Already there are more changes underway. In familysearchlabs, there is a familytree option and it is already connected to new.familysearch.org. Any changes in either place changes the records in the system.One of the major needs through this is to help make corrections and combine duplications in the records. It's wonderful. If you have problems, I'm happy to help.
  3. We here in the Boston temple district have been on new.familysearch.org for over a year now. It is very nice to be able to clear names from home, bring the ordinance request form to the temple, have the blue,pink and yellow ordinance cards printed and get the work done. It has generated a lot of enthusiasm for getting work done. It's also a great way to rejuvenate enthusiasm for doing the work. The help section is good and the available missionaries on the 800 line do a great job of having answers when there are problems. Serving as a family history consultant, I go to folks homes when they have internet access and if they don't, I invite them to mine. It has worked out very well. We haven't had any official training here stake wide but the online resources available are good and taking time to get familiar with the website is another good self training. If I can be of service or answer questions about it, I'm happy to. [email protected]
