Everton, Logan, Utah, not later thanThuraduy of each week. lnterestand value OUR SLOGAN We Stand for a Bigger and Better Gene- alogical Section in Our County Library. We solicit contributions of books or money to buy books We have been advising our" readers to write letters as a regular part of their genealogical research for years and years. Almost every week there is something comes to emphasize the importance of letter w riting and very often to emphasize the fact that many are not really conscious of the fact that they can write letters about genealogy. No long ago a researcher found in the Compendium of American genealogy the name of a man who checked pretty well as one of his ancestors. He needed more information in order to identify his definitely. lie was worried. He didnt know what to do. It just didn't occur to him that he could write to the man who put the pedigree in the Compendium. He was very much delighted when someone suggested that he write a letter. Why sure. Why hadnt he thought of that before? For years, Mrs. James Thain of Amalga, has been puzzling her brain to find a lead that might help her find a connection in Wales where the Thain and Griffiths family originated. In the Handbook of American Genealogy' she found the name of genealogists in Wales. She wrote to them. She has two letters from Wales now. Neither of them give the information she seeks but they do give her the names of the proper officials to write to, with the assurance that she should be able to get the information she seeks. It is all very simple, this writing letters, but it doesnt work unless you keep your eyes open to the opportunities for writing letters, that are all around you. i Rag-nhil- An-tho- y, Jr., officiating at the mony.

Mouritz Anderson, ! -- of the record will vary In proportion to the amount of information it contains, the proof given of the authenticity of the record, and the mat nets and arrangement of the material it contains. The use of pedigree charts and one family group sheets is highly rin omnicnded and generally accept-- 1 e.l for the compilation of an acceptable record. A family may have only a family group sheet, properly made out, of the immediate family, and this may be considered as an acceptable family record, but the interest of the family regarding their record should extend beyond that of their own Immediate group. For this reason, many do, and all should be encouraged to make out pedigree charts, carrying all the various lines back as far as pos- sible, and make a one family group sheet for every marriage of each individual appearing on the pedigree chart. To such a record may be added historical facts, on history sheets, and portraits of various members of the family. The preservation of such a valuable record is important. At the present time the preservation of these valuable records is made possible that some progressive changes may be made in the detailed workings of this department, but the fundamental principles back of the whole system are based on a solid and permanent foundation. The circular of the Church Genealogical Archive gives particulars regarding the filing of records in this department of the Genealogical Society of Utah, a Church institution. Advantages to the individual are a few of them are numerous; mentioned: (1) It frequently happens in a family that only a few, and possibly only one, can be interested in this important responsibility of keeping acceptable records. Our life upon this earth is short, and when this individual passes it ia not unfrom this earth-lifcommon to hear of his valuable records being destroyed by some disinterested person, even though he may have spent much time and a considerable amount of money in e, the compilation of these records. (2) Fires and other destructive forces frequently lay in ruin individual homes, and destroy the 1 contents of the dwelling. These I things may not be due to the care- lessness of any one, but certainly they happen too frequently. (3) The individual will be person- ally benefitted by cooperating with the Church in bringing together this vast store of valuable information into one great archive. Assistance to others is a part of true religion. It may be a simple undertaking for an individual to make out his seven family group sheets connected with his pedigree chart. However, when this much of hm record is deposited in the Archive, it may be the means of making an important connection for someone else, and in return the individual may be benefitted sevenfold. The more one family group sheets deposited the more possibilities there are of their being of assistance. The church neets your assistance. This branch of the Church needs your assistance, but, of course, it, like all other branches of the Church, does not need the assistance as muih as each individual needs the blessings which come from cooperation with Church institutions and activities. An appeal for a copy of all family records. It should be evident that every family, particularly members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, should compile an acceptable family record. To place a copy of the pedigree charts and one family group sheets in a central archive brings blessings to the Individual, and gives him the assurance that bia record will be preserved for future generations; he renders a service to his fellow-mawhich will be greatly appreciated, and he will be blessed by bis service given to the Church in building up this large central record. This article, although directed to the membership of the Church, should be considered in a broader view to apply to and affect all families, inasmuch as all the true cogenealogists have a spirit of Socoperation. The Genealogical iety of Utah receives the wholehearted cooperation of many good genealogists, and we extend our services to those outside of the Church. n, h, ve Church Teaches Eternal Marriage f fV FACTS ARE PRESENTED n .
