  • Thank you for showing how to correctly use the memories app and add a person on IPhones!! I love it, and was unsure if i was doing it correctly. You clarified several points, and the multiple screens part is amazing!

    Please do a video like this explaining the use of the Family Tree App to "Find Descendants with Tasks" for the purpose of sharing names to the Temple for ordinances to be completed. I have recently started using the app for this and there just isn't much out there for instructions. In particular, I have sometimes, when I open a list of 'MY RESERVATIONS' then I tap on a circle for one of the names, the option to SHARE isn't offered. I only get a box for 'TAKE TO THE TEMPLE' and a box for 'UNRESERVE'. Why is the SHARE box not lighting up for me to click? I'm very confused. Thank you!!!

    This looks much easier than doing it on a PC.

  • My account shows my children and my ancestors but one of my children has a different ID number than the number he is using that has his paternal ancestors listed. how do i link to his current ID. I've searched for his ID and name and get nothing.

    When I come across a Census record with children who are less than 100 years old, should I add them as Living, or skip attaching the record to them?
