Family History goals

Answer the Following Questions—Type your answers below the questions:
  1. Write your favorite quote from the provided list.
“A life that is not documented is a life that within a generation or two will largely be lost to memory. What a tragedy this can be in the history of a family. Knowledge of our ancestors shapes us and instills within us values that give direction and meaning to our lives” Bridges and Eternal Keepsakes
DENNIS B. NEUENSCHWANDER of the First Quorum of the Seventy
  1. Write your feelings about family history work.
I feel that I need to do more. I am struggling to keep my journal, but I want to do it. The quote I cited on question one made me feel the need to keep it. With this course I understood that family search is more than just doing genealogy. It is writing journals, family books and book of remembrance. I love it and I want to have more time to work in this issue.
  1. Define in writing a character trait that you desire to work on in order to realize more success in your future family history efforts.
Perseverance, time management, and set goals. I think I need these three things in order to work better in family history.
  1. Write specific goals you feel to set for yourself concerning your future work in family history and temple service. Consider breaking the goals into short, medium, and long-term.
  2. Identify challenges that may derail your goals.
Some of the challenges that may derail my goals in this duty will be the time management, the amount of things I need to do at home, and the other callings I have in the church.
  1. Make plans that will enable you to realize your goals. Don’t just identify what you want to do, also state how you will do it.
I will set specific time to keep my journal and I will set it as one of the main things I need to do during the day. I also will gather pictures about my family and use the questions given in this course to interview my relatives and ask my parents about their ancestors and the histories they remember about them.
