Lessons on Family History for Classes

Lessons on Family History for Classes

*Updated Jan 9, 2009*

Loueen Anderson, the Stake Family History Consultant for the Washington, Utah Stake has submitted her stake's Family History Lesson Program.

They call it the Five Generation Program, which they teach in the individual ward Sunday School classes as well as an evening stake class. It takes 12 weeks. Each week as they meet, they give out the handouts listed for that week and demonstrate them. Then they help each class member to perform the tasks they taught. They also ask them to commit to at least 2 hours per week outside of class.
