This is from Keith Browning our Area Family History Advisor.


I felt that the list would benefit from his comments.

From Br. Browning....

(This was in my response to messages I sent on to
him.........below........................JC)

Joan and I offer priesthood
>leadership training that supports that and suggests things the priesthood
>leaders should be doing to get people involved in family history and hence
>into the FHC's. I was a director of our stake FHC for several years before
>I learned my responsibility was to operate the center and make it available
>to members, not to actually get members into the center.

>Also Tracy Polyak's response to the question pretty well summarizes our
>approach to training and helping stake leadership understand temple and
>family history work.
