-Ideally, candidates would already have a strong background in family history and genealogy and would be generally familiar with FamilySearch.org programs, including the Family Tree, and other family resource materials and programs such as Ancestry.com. However, several of our current consultant staff, initially, had the desire to serve but were deficient in skills and knowledge but were willing learners. They were mentored by more experienced staff members and engaged on their own in individual study of available training material. In the process they have proved themselves quite capable in their ability to help others.
