Lorraine Openshaw--A Great Indexer!

Lorraine, thanks for the great work you do!

Lorraine started doing extraction work about 1998
making cards with names from microfilm.
One day early 2008 while reading about indexing in the Ensign, she followed the directions, then became one of our stake's top indexers.  She has been one of the most consistent indexers and arbitrators having done more than 100,000 records.  Lorraine loves to read and work on jigsaw and crossword puzzles.  Her and her husband show a classic 1958 Ford at car shows.  Lorraine was a mortgage loan officer at a credit union when employed.
Lorraine is a member of the 7th ward.

Thank you, Lorraine, for being a great,
faithful indexer/arbitrator!

7th Ward Youth at Riverton FamilySearch Center

This evening the 7th Ward Youth and Leaders took a trip to the Riverton FamilySearch Center.  With 13 youth and 13 adults a great group heard an indexing presentation, then went to the computers to try out what they learned.  The youth were fast learners and eager to do the indexing correctly.  They caught on to extra tips quickly!  It was a fun, productive evening.  Some of us even checked out some ladies still using the old microfilm readers.  It takes so much time to find names that way.  Wow, indexing will really help us find our ancestors' records so much faster!

 

Great job 7th Ward!

Thanks to the youth leaders and Carol Garden, ward family history consultant, for making this fun trip possible.
The youth were fantastic!
