BRIDGING THE
GENERATIONS:
Older
"traditional" genealogists
Younger "tech
savvy" online socialites
It is no coincidence that FamilySearch and other
tools have come forth at a time when young people are so familiar with a wide
range of information and communication technologies. Your fingers have been
trained to text and to tweet to accelerate and advance the work of the Lord—not
just to communicate quickly with your friends. The skills and aptitude evident
among many young people today are a preparation to contribute to the work of
salvation.
