Tracing Your Family History on WACH Fox News
Posted: Thu Apr 17, 2008 9:40 am
I am a part-time Church Service Missionary for WWS, and I also serve as a family history consultant in our local fhc in Columbia, South Carolina. Earlier, this month, we were interviewed by our local affiliate of Fox News.
The reporter, playing the part of the patron, learned a great deal about starting her own research, and "why" we place so much emphasis on family history research. After filling out her own pedigree chart and learning about eternal families, she became interested in interviewing her own family. It was a very spiritual experience, and the way she put together the feature, has brought a favorable response. We have seen an increase in patrons coming in to locate film/start their research.
Here is the link to the story and video:
