What I think is super cool is when I see a DOT out in the ocean and I find out there's an island there with the temple on it. How amazing is it? And whatever does it take to get a temple out in the ocean?

Oh what is your email for me to contact you directly? Yes I love the temple paintings too. There was one in particular when we shut down for some changes and they changed the paintings and put an awesome one where we have our meeting before shift. It was right behind the pulpit where the speakers would be and it was so distracting. I love that painting

Hi Joni! (Is that how I spell it?) Yes I saw the video Open House. Beautiful!

I don’t know if I’m advanced or intermediate. I’m certainly not a pro. This year I’ve added over 2000 individuals and many thousands of changes made. I kind of have a lot of other things going on too. I really like the new source linker. It’s helped to correct so many problems. It’s fairly user friendly.

I’m new to your channel. Subscribed. I’m a genealogy nerd too.

You’re awesome

Congratulations! DNA test is something I need to do.

Hey Jojo congratulations!

Thank you!

There are some parts you should clip out in order to make a more enjoyable experience for viewers. All the talking to yourself and lagging pc bits are a waste of time.

Since I have been going to the temple every week ( with few exceptions) it would be cool to do a collaboration video with you sometime talking about our experiences and others, and the effects with the church etc and some Family stories etc

We are experienced in genealogy and my husband works for our State so he has access to more information which is awesome!

I am so grateful for Family History and the opportunity that I have to go to the temple reasonably weekly. Even with having 7 kids and 5 still at home. I love Ordinance Ready. I feel you about time to do videos Joni! I have a job too and chickens and we do beekeeping. And we have 3 CZcams channels! 1 that's Catch the Buzz, Faith based media and family. 2nd Love Notes From God, my channel about being a temple worker, my missions, seeing God's love notes to us in every day life. And Lord of the Sting that's about beekeeping! It's such an exciting opportunity to speak to and with people and learn and share. PS, I always like, comment and subscribe 😉

I consider myself a beginner. Just following my promptings.

What a marvelous trip! I’m waiting to see your report!

Never heard of it

Lucky!

Thank you for your channel. I just watched your video on when you went to the temple. So I've had this impression to start a youtube channel about family history. I find that it's a lot like what you are doing. I should have known about this because I saw you on Christian Homestead, but its important to follow your promptings which is what I am learning. Keep up the good work!

I struggle from time to time with depressive disorder, and I knew exactly what you were talking about when you said you have been doing all the right things to invite the Spirit to be with you, yet you haven't been able to feel it for a while. I had years of my life like that and it's such a sore unpleasant trial. With the depression, it just feeds into the feelings of failure or just the feeling of what must I be doing wrong even though you know you actually are doing your best, etc. Just wanted you to know I've experienced it and that I've learned from talking to others, it's a common characteristic to depression. I'm glad it seems you're making progress in therapy and are starting to feel the Spirit again. I just wanted you to know you're not alone. 😊

Thank you Joni! Recently I have come across people that have been added as a husband or wife with no sources and then I check into it and it makes no sense. But it's not easy to just remove someone especially when there are kids. So frustrating. It's sad too because of how many names get done at the temple that shouldn't be whether because of mistakes like this or duplicates. I'm glad people are trying. I pray whenever I do a merge or am not sure. I love it when I find missing children. Sealed 3 families yesterday. I'm only 6 minutes in. Thanks for this information

Your eyes and hair color are just like my mom’s. She’s in the Spirit World close by, so I very much appreciate being reminded of her 😊 thank you for sharing!

Good video! I actually understand! Lol! I saw it come up this morning and had to check it out. Well done, my friend!

Thank you for sharing.. I like the beautiful picture of the temple in the background. You are absolutely right; it feels different when we do not sense the presence of the Holy Ghost. When we are accustomed to feeling it constantly and suddenly do not, it can indeed feel strange. I have learned to pray and reflect during these times, asking if there is something I need to repent for that might be causing this absence. Nevertheless, Christ's extended hands always lift me up and help me get back on track. I hope you are doing well. Dr. I

Great video! Thanks for all the great family history info. I need it!! I love the temple and I’m so grateful to be able to help my ancestors. Keep up the most important work!

You are definitely in my prayers, my friend!

Hello beautiful..show some love here..i subscribed

❤

Love old book smells!!

This conference is SO worth going to! I have been several years. It's exhausting and your brain is on overload. But it spurs you forward to new discoveries and new ideas you might have not thought of. Save your pennies throughout the year so you can attend.

Thank you

I'm going to have to watch in the morning. Missed your announcement.

I like this presentation. The concept of heritage takes on a profound meaning when linked to the spiritual realm. By connecting our genealogy with heaven, we are reminder of the eternal aspect of our identity and lineage. It's a poignant reminder that our true heritage is not only grounded in Christ but also extends beyond earthly boundaries, reaching towards the celestial realm. Thanks for this presentation. -DR.I

I like your guest comment on relationships, notably the exploration of divorce and the endeavor to escape a violent relationship. This explains the profound reflection on the transformative potential inherent in seemingly adverse experiences. Knowing that individuals may unwittingly navigate such relationships explains a universal human condition. Despite the inherent pain associated with these circumstances, there is a recognition that the divine orchestrates lessons from such trials, thereby turning experiences for individual betterment. This transformative dimension not only fortifies one's resilience but also underscores the redemptive potential inherent in adversities, as Christ, in benevolence, crafts instructive lessons from the diverse tapestry of human experiences. The expressed gratitude for sharing this narrative shows how relationships' are multifaceted and the intrinsic value embedded within ostensibly painful junctures, emphasizing the profound learning and spiritual enrichment that can arise through a divine perspective.

Watching this video where you shared your temple experience was truly moving for me. I appreciated how you spoke passionately about the gospel of Christ and your unwavering belief in Him. Your willingness to open up and share personal experiences added authenticity to the narrative, making it more relatable. The account of your baptism into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints struck a chord with me, evoking a deep sense of emotion. I was touched by your understanding of the restoration of the priesthood in these latter days, showing a profound connection to the core tenets of faith in Christ. What stood out the most was the constant focus on Christ throughout the video, grounding the narrative and emphasizing the transformative power of the gospel in their life. Dr. I

Do you have a video where you talk about matching and merging FTM with FamilySearch?

How do you handle the messy sources that come from FamilySearch?

I'm so sorry to hear about your losses. But very glad to see you back!

Thank you for this video, it was very helpful. Glad you are back. God bless you for all you do for others.

Thanks, Joanie! I'm planning on digging in today! And if you're late to the party, I missed the invitation! Lol!

I'm still running FTM 2012.... Wondering if it's time for an update.

I’ve recently been unable to log into family search within the family tree maker app. FTM informs me they know of the problem. Is everyone having this problem?

Thanks JoJo. Watching your video was a real hoot...loved it. ❤ I've had Family Tree Maker since 1990. I've got FTM2019 but finding now it's gotten incredibly overwhelming to use. I've switched to the new Rootsmagic9 (RM9). They've got lots of videos watch. So far I'm happy. Wondering wondering I keep wondering if Mackiev will be launching a new FTM2024 at next month's RootsTech stravaganza😊

Hi Jonie. Do you know the best Polish sources for family history?

I started with FTM back when it was with Banner Blue. It just keeps getting better with each update. I originally got it on CDs around twenty-five years ago. Amazing program!

FS can be a mess. What is the quickest and easiest way to make sure FS matches everything in a tree you have elsewhere without completely losing your mind?
