New FamilySearch Announcement
“One of the most troublesome aspects of our temple activity is…duplication of effort in proxy work.
We, therefore, have been engaged for some time in a very difficult undertaking.
To avoid such duplication, the solution lies in complex computer technology. Preliminary indications are that it will work, and if this is so, it will be a truly remarkable thing with worldwide implications.”
President Gordon B. Hinckley, “Opening Remarks,” General Conference October 2005
