Ancestor Research Report
Dana Rogers reported that she checked Audrey Livingston’s information against what we have and there are some discrepancies.
Kay Livingston reported that the temple work we did last June does not show up in the “New Family Search” program. She will contact the temple and find out the status. Charlene Clark will put the researcher’s report on a PDF file and email it to the board.
