March Indexing Report

This blog reports on all the great work accomplished by the Mesa South Stake HONEY BEES in the month of March 2016.

The following shows the sum total of the “Records” + “Arbitrated” by ward.

The following provides the total number of Honey Bees.  We had a major increase in the number of Honey Bees.  Much of this increase  is because of the hard work put in by the Solomon Ward Group Administrator, John Ogden and the great efforts put in by the Young Women of the Liahona 1 Ward.

Liahona 1st Ward

We are pleased to highlight the Young Women of the Liahona 1st Ward and Sister Berta Lujan, the Ward Indexing Director.

We give our special thanks to Shannon Lista, Nadia Morello and Shelem Romero, the adult Young Women Leaders who made this happen and for the constant help and testimony of Berta Lujan.

The Liahona 1 Young Women are participating in Family History by working on indexing in spite of the difficulties many have because they do not have computers in their home.

Preferred Projects

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has missionaries assigned all over the world to photograph vital statistic records that have value to family history research.  Some of these projects come as contracts between the Church and the Repository of the Records where there are specific time limit requirements.  The project is put on the "Preferred List" when the time limit is approaching and there is still a lot of work to be done.

The US Pennsylvania Marriage Records is one of those preferred projects.  The Mesa South Stake is not "adopting" a single project and you may work on any project that suits your circumstances and/or interests, but if you want to help with a preferred project, we invite you to help on the US Pennsylvania Marriage Records.

The following shows the current state of completion of this project.

The following is an example image of this project.
