More About “Ordinances Ready”
These Apps Can Help with Temple and Family History Work
Member Tools—provides a hub of useful tools for members. It includes: Directory, Temples, Schedule Temple Appointments, Prayer Roll, Ordinances Ready, Calendar, Ministering Assignments, Come Follow Me, Handbook and Calls, and many other valuable tools. Look and See!
FamilySearch Get Involved—much of FamilySearch’s indexing is now being done by an artificial-intelligence, scanning technology. For one thing, most of the time, this technology recognizes the correct name, but it doesn’t always get it right. So, human eyes are needed to verify what the computer found or to correct possible errors. It’s fun, quick and easy!
FamilySearch Tree— With this app you can conveniently discover and document your family’s branches on Family Tree, including preserving family memories such as photos, written stories and audio recordings.
FamilySearch Memories—is like having a personal, family history treasure album on your mobile device! With it you can collect, preserve and share favorite family memories: photos, stories, documents, audio recordings. You can also store your precious family memories on FamilySearch for free forever!
