Family History Basic Tutorials
For Latter-day Saints
The following video tutorials are designed for Latter-day Saints getting started with family history or helping others to get started. Most videos are short and to the point, 5-10 minutes long. A handout is included with each presentation. The original videos were created by Judy Sharp and are currently in the process of being updated by Vivien Brown so that they are consistent with recent changes and updates in the family history programs.

Family History Nuggets
Family History Nuggets are half-page handouts, which you may edit and share with others. These little “nuggets” of information include knowledge about history, tips and tricks for doing family history, Google tips, ideas for family home evening, and more.
Not everyone is ready or able to do family history, and not everyone who would like to learn can attend a class. But everyone should be able to take a few seconds to learn something about family history each week. Then when the time comes that they are able to do family history, they will feel empowered, having gained some knowledge over time. Their learning curve will be shortened, and they will be able to master the challenges of family history with confidence.
