We want the youth to have early success as they get started, but often the goal is to "find a name." It's not usually possible for most youth to find a name within the hour and a half they are given at mutual, and if they do find one, there's no way of knowing they are actually cousins because their ancestral lines haven't been verified. We are both leaning more toward teaching the youth simple tasks they can do such as cleaning up the tree and adding record hints and stories for their ancestors as they get started. I think that if they start with a prayer and hope to learn how to do family history, they will find names as they go along. I love the quote by Alan F. Packer that you referenced.
