Stake Family History Center Director
Errr... that's me. Just received my first stake calling this weekend. I'm afraid it might be a fairly big deal. We used to have a family history center in NY that was open to the public but it closed when they added the temple into the Lincoln Square building. They've been talking about reopening a smaller scale center since last year and I was very excited as this would mean I could ordered much needed microfilm from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. I even remember approaching Linda Cameron, the previous stake family history chairperson, and telling her I would be willing to help out with getting the center up and running. Well, looks like I got my wish. So I shall be not only the center's director, but it's first and most eager patron. I'll be helping people outside the Church with their family history research which is very exciting. I wouldn't mind being a professional genealogy researcher. It's not something I could support myself on at this point, but it would be a great job to have if I were married and not the sole income in the family.
