Where on the pedigree should you start
Combining records?
With yourself?
Somewhere out on your family tree?
Derwin Merrill 2009
Learn to combine recordsby combining individuals
in the 7 families of your first four generations.
Derwin Merrill 2009
If you start with YOU and work towards the right you are doing children before parents.
Problem: When you combine children before parents there will sometimes be duplicate children added to the family as you combine the parents. You then have to go back and combine duplicates for the children a second time. Working your pedigree chart from right to left avoids this repetition.Derwin Merrill 2009

“My brothers and sisters, do not be weary in well doing. If you feel your contribution is small or insignificant, remember that the worth of souls is precious in the sight of God. Our opportunity is to prepare the way, and to accomplish the ordinance work, after faithful research, that these souls may prepare for the glory which is their divine opportunity”
