Census Records
From Ancestry.com or Heritage
Quest, print off a few
actual Census records showing relatives of someone in your ward (to
make them more
meaningful and personal). Highlight that person or family
and pass the Census paper around the room for your R.S. sisters or
Priesthood brethren to see close up (we put them them in a plastic page
protector--one showing on each side). Hopefully seeing the
samples will
excite them enough to want to find their own relatives on a Census
report. Those of you that have seen your ancestors' names on an
old
Census report know what a thrill it is! Offer your help.
Practice ahead of time
viewing and printing the various Census reports so you will be
confident and ready to give help.

Taker"
