Core Training for Family History Callings

There are certain training resources identified by LDS.org as "core" or additional resources for some family history callings in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I feel that these resources, which are generally available on LDS.org or can be found online are valuable for everyone involved in family history and serving in the Church in a family history related calling. The list includes the following resources:

• Handbook 2: Section 5.4
• To Turn the Hearts Guide and Videos
• The Doctrine of Temple and Family History Work
• Policies for Submitting Names for Temple Work

In addition, the following resources are available and valuable, no matter what the family history calling may be:

• Family Tree Training 
• Family Tree Training "Sandbox" View a fully-functional family tree with sample data that you can use for personal practice, group demonstrations, one-on-one coaching, and other learning activities.
• Family Tree "Sandbox" Lessons
• View a series of practice lessons that you can use in connection with the Family Tree Training "Sandbox."
• Temple and Family History Course Materials 
• FamilySearch Learning Center Browse hundreds of online genealogy courses to help you discover your family history.
• FamilySearch Research Wiki Get research advice, or learn where to find record collections in thousands of research articles.
• Family History Consultant Devotionals Watch messages delivered to family history consultants by General Authorities of the Church. See prior year's addresses

There are also "calling specific" resources available for each family history calling. You can go to the Family History Callings page on LDS.org for more information.
