Genealogy Online

The internet streamlines every aspect of family history work, from research to ordinances. Having an online database of genealogical data eliminates countless hours of tedious work that, if required, would cripple the ability of members world-wide to perform proxy ordinances. If every name submitted to the temple was sent to Salt Lake, then checked by hand against Church records for duplicates, temple work would crawl. Instead, we can enter new information into the Church's database from anywhere in the world, the data is checked automatically for any possible errors or conflicts, and then we can print of an ordinance sheet that we can take to the temple. What a miracle, and what a blessing!
