Family record extraction is a program where members transcribe information from vital records, so the information becomes part of the FamilySearch computer system. Members can use FamilySearch to quickly and easily identify ancestors and prepare names for temple ordinances. The conference attendees may extract over 20,000 names during the day. There may be up to 300 women extracting at one time.
Women can extract for as little or as long as they want.
No expertise will be required. Volunteers from the stakes and employees of Family History Department will instruct and assist conference attendees. To continue to serve your ancestors, come and learn the basics of family history by attending some or all of the 20 minute classes and displays provided. We want to de-mystify family history so that you will feel like there is something you can do now. Fill out a Family Group Record and a Pedigree Chart to take home and use to get more information.
