Alternative Family History Projects: Update #2 on Improving Place-Names

  

Improve Place-Names

A month ago, I posted about an update on improving place names on FamilySearch. Well, I checked back on the feature, which is available online and via the FamilySearch app, and now there are over 90 different locations to choose from. (Specifically, there were a whopping 93 locales listed.) Some of the locations are nations/countries that no longer exist today, such as Prussia. This is definitely a welcome change.

Based on this change, there appears to be plenty of work left to be done. So if you are looking for a "small and simple" way to help out or just an opportunity to use your foreign language skills, try out the improving place names feature on FamilySearch.

#GiveThanks Day 6

  Thought for Day 6: I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from my ancestors. I've found stories of faith, courage, and success. I have also found stories of less than ideal choices. I don't judge my ancestors. None of us are perfect. We all have struggles. Both the good and the bad stories from my family history challenge me to rise to the best within myself. They highlight the need to continually hold to truth and right. I'm thankful that the stories have been saved--and I can share them as "memories" on  FamilySearch --so that I can continue to learn from my ancestors. #GiveThanks

#GiveThanks Day 7

Thought for Day 7: I'm thankful for the commandments of God. They aren't always easy to obey. They require discipline and we can always improve our obedience. But as we continue to put our best efforts towards keeping the commandments of God, we are blessed with greater peace, joy, and stability. Keeping the commandments also qualify us for other blessings, including access to holy temples. #GiveThanks

#GiveThanks Day 3

  Thought for Day 3: I'm thankful for the peace I feel when I am in a temple. The temple has always been a peaceful place for me but I think that it has become more and more peaceful the more years I have attended. When I visit a temple, it calms my worries and settles me. I think this is another of the great blessings of having temples upon the earth. #GiveThanks
