How to Hold a “Family Tree Gathering”

“We finally have the doctrine, the temples, and the technology for families to accomplish this glorious work of salvation. I suggest … [each family] hold a ‘Family Tree Gathering.’ This should be a recurring effort.”

—Elder Quentin L. Cook, “Roots and Branches,” Ensign, May 2014, 47.

1. Gather with your family and share histories, stories, photos, and heirlooms.

2. Upload stories and photos to Family Tree and connect source documents with ancestors.

3. Determine which ancestors need temple ordinances to be done and make assignments to family members.
