Nampa Family Search Center

Evaluating Your Sources: Are you stuck at an ancestor brick wall in your research? It may be time to evaluate the sources you have for that line. As explained in this Heritage Discovered article, it helps to know the three types of sources and the three types of genealogy information that are commonly used in research. Then you can evaluate your ancestor sources for strengths and weaknesses. For more tips on working with sources, see Goal 8 in Project 1: Family Tree.
A tip from The FHGuide.com helps to learn Family Search on your own

16 And now, in relation to the baptism for the dead, I will give you another quotation of Paul, 1 Corinthians 15:29: Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? Why are they then baptized for the dead?

17 And again, in connection with this quotation I will give you a quotation from one of the prophets, who had his eye fixed on the restoration of the priesthood, the glories to be revealed in the last days, and in an especial manner this most glorious of all subjects belonging to the everlasting gospel, namely, the baptism for the dead; for Malachi says, last chapter, verses 5th and 6th: Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

18 I might have rendered a plainer translation to this, but it is sufficiently plain to suit my purpose as it stands. It is sufficient to know, in this case, that the earth will be smitten with a curse unless there is a welding link of some kind or other between the fathers and the children, upon some subject or other—and behold what is that subject? It is the baptism for the dead. For we without them cannot be made perfect; neither can they without us be made perfect. Neither can they nor we be made perfect without those who have died in the gospel also; for it is necessary in the ushering in of the dispensation of the fulness of times, which dispensation is now beginning to usher in, that a whole and complete and perfect union, and welding together of dispensations, and keys, and powers, and glories should take place, and be revealed from the days of Adam even to the present time. And not only this, but those things which never have been revealed from the foundation of the world, but have been kept hid from the wise and prudent, shall be revealed unto babes and sucklings in this, the dispensation of the fulness of times.

We would Like to wish all Father's a Happy Father's Day and Hope you enjoy a Special Day fpr You. The Family Search Center will be closed to help celebrate the fathers that spend time at the Center to let them enjoy their families on this special Day. We will be close Saturday and Sunda;y the 14 &15.
