45. Combining People/Records Learn to combine records by combining individuals in the 7 families of your first four generations. Derwin Merrill 2009

46. Where Do I Start The Combining Process? Start on the 4 th Generation from YOU and work left towards YOU Why? If you start with YOU and work towards the right you are doing children before parents. Problem: When you combine children before parents there will sometimes be duplicate children added to the family as you combine the parents. You then have to go back and combine duplicates for the children a second time. Working your pedigree chart from right to left avoids this repetition. Derwin Merrill 2009

If you feel your contribution is small or insignificant, remember that the worth of souls is precious in the sight of God. Our opportunity is to prepare the way, and to accomplish the ordinance work, after faithful research, that these souls may prepare for the glory which is their divine opportunity” (“The Key of Faith,” Ensign, Feb. 1994, 5, 7).
