The Next Printing Press

The personal computer is revolutionary for family history work. Like the printing press, the computer has transformed documentation by making it easier to store and duplicate records. Elder Russell M. Nelson tells of its current widespread use and our future work to bring us closer to our ancestors.  This is similar to how the printing press brought the bible and Book of Mormon to so many early saints that joined the church. These technologies have brought families closer together through record keeping for centuries now. Now is the time to take advantage of saving family records on personal computers.

  1. The era of storing family history on my computer is quickly being replaced with the era of storing and sharing it on the internet. The internet has already increased productivity in genealogy by orders of magnitude, and it's just getting started.
