Presentation transcript:

“The Lord has guided the development of information technology and accelerated its role in work for the dead, and will continue to do so. However, we stand only on the threshold of what we can do with these tools. I feel that our most enthusiastic projections can capture only a tiny glimpse of how these tools can help us - and of the eternal consequences of these efforts.” -President Howard W. Hunter, 100th anniversary of the Genealogical Society of Utah
