4: Discover 5: Indexing 6: Help and 7: Technology
Each project has skills of learning and doing. You can apply these skills in many different ways, for many of your ancestors. Intrested? Follow this link: http://www.thefhguide.com/get-started.html

| Help Desk |  What is the difference between Community Indexed IGI and Community Contributed IGI?
The Community Indexed data is organized into the original collections from which records are transcribed. The Community Contributed IGI comes from family records submitted by individuals. How reliable is the Community Contributed IGI?
Patrons submitting information to the Community Contributed IGI gave the best information available at the time. Contributed data is not well documented from trustworthy sources. The information can be useful as clues to your family history. Before you rely on the information you should carefully review the data and find sources to verify the information.
Where can I find the IGI?
- Scroll down, and click Browse All Published Collections directly under the world map.
- Enter International Genealogical Index, or IGI in the Search field on the top left of the screen.
- Click International Genealogical Index in the Records Collections list to the right of the search box.

Ask Ancestry Anne: Can I Trust Trees?
How do you know when and if their information is accurate? Particularly when you are researching an ancestor that is new for you and the "hints" that are provided are from someone's family tree.

10 Reasons To Use CCC Records in Your Genealogy Research
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a public relief corps dating from 1933-1942. Part of the New Deal by President Roosevelt, this program was specifically for unmarried and unemployed men. The men of the CCC worked to build roads, parks and improve other lands and natural resources. The men were organized into camps throughout the country.

OCCUPATION FILES ON ANCESTRY-1600-1995-What are they? Have you seen these?
I was researching one of my husband's ancestors the other day (his 7th great grandfather, Benjamin Clarke), when I came across a record I had never seen before.
This record actually showed up when I was checking the shaky leaf on Ancestry. I do check those shaky leafs every day. Why? Because it seems to me that whoever you have been working on recently will be shown on those hints. Sometimes I find they are hints I am already familiar with, but many times, I have come across new information. I'm NOT talking about family trees, but actual document records. read about the Craftsperson Fies, click here.
Say Cheese! A Short Guide to Family and Genealogically Significant Photos
A large number of people doing their genealogy come to be interested in having pictures of their family members. Photography, as we know it, was invented about 1840. Before then, one must rely on paintings, drawings and other representations of people. Note to self: be descended from royalty - they have their family portraits! But considering 1840 would include people who were born perhaps as early as 1760 (they being very elderly when the picture was made) it would get most people back to several greats in their family tree.
But where could you look besides the usual shoebox of pictures and slides (you know who you are!) in the house? Click here to learn more.
Irish Petty Sessions Court Registers
he Petty Sessions Court Registers are an invaluable source for Irish ancestral research. These court records are chock-full of fantastic information, and can offer a depiction of your ancestor that traditional Irish sources will not. In Ireland, the Petty Sessions dealt with the less serious civil and criminal matters. Here, you can find disputes between neighbors and family members, claims of petty assault, and minor domestic grievances. Learn more-click here.

| Family History Consultants |  RootsTech 2014: Family history consultant training
A calling to serve as a family history consultant is important to furthering the work of the kingdom. It is crucial work that requires diligence. "You are called to represent the Savior," said President Henry B. Eyring, in an October 2002 general conference talk. "Your call has eternal consequences for others and for you. In the world to come, thousands may call your name blessed, even more than the people you serve here."
A special session at the RootsTech 2014 genealogy conference led by Todd Jones, Family History Department product manager, and Shipley Munson, marketing manager for FamilySearch, addressed helping family history consultants of all levels of experience to have success by breaking instruction down into four core responsibilities.

A Deep Sense of Gratitude
"We stand today as the recipients of [our ancestors] great effort... I hope we carry in our hearts a deep sense of gratitude for all that they have done for us... Our forebears laid a solid and marvelous foundation. Now ours is the great opportunity to build a superstructure, all fitly framed together... We honor best those who have gone before when we serve well in the cause of truth."
Gordon B. Hinckley

Remember...

A Warrior Is Not What You Think
For us, warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another's life.
The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who cannot provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity.
