What current methods are available to collaborate family history? I
understand that it is a fairly difficult problem to coordinate millions
of people working on interrelated pieces of a puzzle of billions of
names. Does more research need to be done in this area?
Well, that's precisely the problem the prophet referred to in conference:
"One of the most troublesome aspects of our temple activity is that as
we get more and more temples scattered across the earth there is
duplication of effort in proxy work. People in various nations
simultaneously work on the same family lines and come up with the same
names. They do not know that those in other areas are doing the same
thing. 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."
