Monday at noon we were asked to do a
presentation at the Palau Community College. They offered a class on genealogy,
but no one signed up, so they cancelled it. They found out that the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has the largest collection of records and
asked Vangie, since she was a member, if we would be willing to come and make a
presentation. There were about 40 people at the presentation and we stayed
after and answered questions. The presentation was well received and
there were many questions that took what was to be a one-hour lecture into a two-hour
discussion. In addition to the questions about genealogy, family history and DNA
testing, there were many questions about the church. Some of the older
participants were already tracing their ancestry and many of the younger ones
had a genuine interest developed to investigate their origins and the use of
technology in family history. The missionaries are following up on those who
wanted to know more about the Church.
