+== Oberg, Lynette -  '''FINDING JOY IN FAMILY HISTORY''' ==
+TASK – '''Create an Account'''-If you already have an LDS account you will use that. If you don’t have an account, go to FamilySearch.org and click “Free Account” in the upper right hand corner.
+TASK- '''Add a Name-'''Go to Family Search.org and click on the “Family Booklet” icon under “Family Tree”. After you sign in you can click  “Fill in online version”. As you fill in this information the system will build a tree for you. Navigate around in the tree to places where people are missing, a parent perhaps. ''FamilySearch.org/Family Tree/ Family Booklet.''
+TASK- '''Download/Print a FanChart'''- Fan charts are a wonderful way to help children/youth connect with their ancestors. Also available is '''Family Trees'''- If you’re looking for something a little more artsy, there are 4 different styles to choose from. This can be found at ''familysearch.org/campaign/keepsakes''. Also treeseek.com
+TASK-'''Index a Batch'''- Anyone can be an indexer! Indexing is what makes digital records searchable on FamilySearch.org.  Millions of records are added every day. Go to ''Familysearch.org/sign in''. Hover over “Indexing” listed in the top menu and then choose “Web Indexing” from the dropdown. Click on the blue “Find Batches” button and get started. Be sure to read the project instructions.
+TASK- '''Find a Record or a Hint'''-FamilySearch has published over 5.5 billion records. Once you are on FamilySearch.org you may see a blue hint next to a name.  Open the hint and see if it is one of your ancestors. If you don’t find hints, search billions of records by name, locality, date, etc.
+TASK-'''Download the free mobile apps'''- Everyone’s cell phone can be considered a virtual library. The free ''FamilySearch - Tree app'' makes capturing and preserving family stories easy. Go to your app store and download the app. ''FamilySearch – Tree'' (''FamilySearch – Memories''. FamilySearch - Tree has all the capabilities of this app. It’s more of a way to keep memories indexed).
+TASK- '''Upload a Photo'''-Once you have downloaded the app, uploading a photo is simple. Sign into the app if necessary. Once you are in the Tree choose someone and scroll to “Memories” across the top and click the green + circle and choose “Add Photo”. Once you do this you can add an existing photo from your phone or take a picture of someone or something. You can also do this through FamilySearch.org and you can even pull in photos from Facebook and Instagram!
+''Family Tree/Tree/Select Individual/ Memories/ Green + Circle/ Add Photo''
+TASK- '''Create a Story'''- Creating a story is simple and the best way to journal is by writing about a photo, like everyone does on social media. Go to Family Search.org/ sign in/ memories/ gallery/scroll down to “create a story” and click on it. Upload a photo from your gallery or from your desktop. This can be done from the app also.
+TASK- '''Upload a Document'''- This is a great way to add documents you have at your home. If you have a scanner, use it. If not, take a picture of the document and upload it through the Family Tree app on your phone. ''Scan- Go to familysearch.org/sign in/ memories/gallery/documents icon/green plus circle/choose files''
+TASK – '''Record Audio'''-Recording audio is simple on the FamilySearchTree app. Open the app and go to the Tree and choose someone you want to tell a story about or choose yourself. Scroll to memories across the top then click the green +circle in the bottom right hand corner. Choose “Record Audio”. If you like the sample questions you can choose one or simply click “Begin Recording” and hit the record button. Remember these recordings should always be brief.
