After years on the sidelines, Kathryn began doing family history and discovered that she loved it. Her specialty is helping new family historians find success—and maybe even avoid some of the mistakes she's made. Kathryn teaches Sunday classes and webinars for the BYU Family History Library. She also presents at Riverton Saturday Seminars and other family history events. Her column on family history ran in the Nauvoo Times for about a year and is still available online. In addition, she is a regular contributor to the FamilySearch blog. She works as a technical writer and instructional designer with a focus on usability and process improvement. Besides family history, she loves uplifting music, thought-provoking books, and fresh raspberries.

[Short version]============================== UVTAGG MEETING, Saturday 08 Aug 2020 - free online on Facebook 10:00-11:00 AM MDT, GETTING THE MOST OUT OF ENGLAND'S GRO INDEX by DANA and CINDY HENRIKSEN 11:10-12:00 Noon MDT, YOUTH AS TEMPLE AND FAMILY HISTORY CONSULTANTS by MARILYN THOMSEN ============================================= [Long version]=============================== UVTAGG Meeting (Utah Valley Technology and Genealogy Group) Saturday, 08 Aug 2020, 10:00am-Noon MDT, free online on Facebook Online broadcast from the "Red Chapel" of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 4012 North Timpview Dr. (650 East), Provo, Utah 84604. (A few people can attend in-person there with masks and social distancing due to the Covid-19 pandemic.) 10:00-11:00 am: GETTING THE MOST OUT OF ENGLAND'S GRO INDEX by DANA and CINDY HENRIKSEN 11:10-12:00 noon: YOUTH AS TEMPLE AND FAMILY HISTORY CONSULTANTS by MARILYN THOMSEN You can watch both parts on Facebook. For the second part you may have to log in again. For the England GRO (Government Records Office) presentation, learn how to use England's civil registration birth and death records to find information about your English ancestors and their families. The GRO can help you: find mother's maiden names, discover missing children that died before the next census, separate families that have been improperly merged in FamilySearch, identify more accurate birth years than provided in the census, and find other useful information.
DANA and CINDY HENRIKSEN have been heavily involved in family history for the last 10+ years. They have been managing the Lindon Shared Stakes Family History Center as Assistant Directors/Directors for nearly six years and were consultants before that. They were recently released and are now serving in a YSA (Young Single Adult) Ward. They specialize in researching England, Sweden, and Denmark - home to many of their ancestors and distant cousins. They were especially motivated to sharpen their research skills during the three plus years their daughter wanted 20 names a week to take to the temple for baptisms - it was quite the challenge to keep up with her. They have spent a lot of time digitizing images of their ancestors. It has been great for them to ride the wave of new technology and innovation for family history research. With the great online resources available, they can do in minutes today what was impossible just a few years ago.
For the class, YOUTH AS TEMPLE AND FAMILY HISTORY CONSULTANTS, taught by MARILYN THOMSEN, she will remind us of Elder David A. Bednar's 2020 RootsTech talk that youth don't need to listen to adults tell them how great this work is, or your turn is coming. They need to be anxiously engaged in this work right now to move it across the world." She will provide some real examples and tips for wards to actively use and empower their youth as consultants. Count on the blessings resulting from youth doing family history. Marilyn Thomsen is an enthusiastic teacher and a confessed snoop who loves helping uncover secrets hiding in family trees. She served an Internship at Georgia's National Archive Regional Center to complete her BA from BYU ('05) with a Family History focus on US Southern research. Twice she won BYU's Family History of the Year Award researching and writing about her Pioneer ancestors. She has served as a Church Family History Service Missionary in the Salt Lake Family History Library and in the FamilySearch's Facebook Community. She and her husband, Richard, love traveling and have researched family in the Southern USA, Isle of Man, Ireland, Denmark and England. Currently, they are Family History Center Directors and love involving their grandchildren in family history. For the last year, Marilyn has been the editor of UVTAGG's newsletter, TAGGology.
