The "Family Ordinance Opportunities" is a new experimental prototype tool being designed to make it easier for you to find ancestors who need Temple work. This feature helps you quickly see which relatives, (by family, children, grand children, spouses, etc.) who have ordinances ready or who may need more information before a request can be made. You can then make the request and take it to the Temple, or give it to the Temple or share it with others and family members. Give it try and let us know what you think.

A Hodgepodge of Lesser-Known Gems 

Steve Morse gave a  Zoom Presentation on One-Step Webpages 

( A Hodgepodge of Lesser-Known Gems)

This One-Step website started out as an aid for finding passengers in the Ellis Island Database. Shortly afterwards it was expanded to help with searching in the 1930 census. Over the years it has continued to evolve and today includes about 300 web-based tools divided into sixteen separate categories ranging from genealogical searches to astronomical calculations to using bookmarks.

This presentation , as the name implies, is a Hodgepodge of things. There is no rhyme or reason to it , and no logical connection between the items. Each item in the bullet list is self-contained, and solves a particular problem. Some of the problems and their One-Step solutions are shown below ...

• Searching The FamilySearch Record Collections
• Working With Time Intervals
• Searches In Foreign Alphabets
• Table Lookups
• Number Decoding
• Universal Bookmarks
• Geocoding (Latitude and Longitude)
• Rural Areas In THe Census
• When Did?
• Numbers, Large and Small
• Miscellaneous
