Met at the familysearch center (500 S Langley Avenue) at 7:00 p.m.
President McDonald shared that the major focus of President Bergeson is the temple. The TFH committee is going to be an important part of fulfilling his vision for the stake. One of the comments that came out of a leadership meeting with the Bishops was a request for a better way to share ideas between wards on what is going well with regards to temple and family history. This meeting was a first step in addressing that request.
Sister Hannah Clark led a discussion covering 3 topics:
The one unique thought that I gleaned from the discussion was that the Corona ward does a 'QR' code share related to a family history topic once per month in EQ/RS/Youth classes. This sounded similar to how our Relief Society had a 5 minute familysearch discussion, except all the classes do it. One month the QR code pointed to the activity 'relatives around me'. Since everybody was doing it at the same time, at the beginning of their classes, members of the Elders Quorum were getting hits not just from their Quorum members, but also from members of the Relief Society, which they thought was fun.
At the end of the meeting, the familysearch center leaders shared that they now have a facebook page. You may search and connect to Tucson Arizona Family Search Center if you are on facebook. It is a fairly small group still - but it is public so that anybody can join.
I got a small handout that I will tack up on our bulletin board. There will be one-night class titled "How to Use DNA in Family History Research" on Sunday, June 8th, from 6:00-8:00 pm at the Tucson Stake Center (105 North Norton Avenue, Tucson, AZ). Guest Presenter Bridgette LeFevre, the Arizona Tucson Area Family History Advisor and Professional Genealogist will be teaching the class. The class description is: "Unlock the secrets of How to use DNA to solve Genealogical Problems. Learn how to understand DNA data, apply it to your family history research, and break through your brick walls!" Those that would like to attend are asked to contact Jeff and Debbie Conover to let them know you are coming for planning purposes. Their phone number is 520-733-5790 and their e-mail is [email protected].

Sister Hannah Clark led a discussion covering 3 topics:
- What is working well in your wards with respect to temple and family history?
- What are some of the challenges you face?
- What can the stake temple and family history leader do to help your ward?
