Reserve the Family History Center near you for a Date Night for your Relief Society group and their spouses or dates. Give a tour of the center so that they will know what is available. Introduce them to the programs on the computers and let them search for some family names.
Heirloom Cookbooks
Gather recipes from the sisters that have family memories or that have been handed down from their mothers or grandmothers. Where available include a picture of the ancestor and/or story about the recipe's history or traditions. You could also include current family favorites that are destined to be passed down to future generations.

Relief Society Sister's Temple Session
If you are close to a temple, schedule a date for sister's in the ward who would like to,
to attend the temple together. Encourage sister's to find names in their family to
submit for temple work that they can do. This could be a monthly event. Volunteer
to help them get started in finding names to submit.
