Blog 2- Summer Mentorship
















Image result for covina family history centerThe Covina Family History Center is where I completed my ten hours this summer and where I am going to be completing my hours throughout the school year.

Displaying FB_IMG_1440393417747.jpgThis is my mentor Sherri Salmans. She does Family History for herself and volunteers for the Mormon church and helps anyone who needs help.




1. List the Sherri Salmans, (626) 589-6236, and Family History Center of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints.

2. Sherrie Salmons has been involved with Family History for over 10 years and has uncovered most of her        personal Family History. She is also a recognized expert in the LDS church.

3. List three questions for further exploration now that you've completed your summer hours.
  • Why is it important to learn about my family history?
  • What is the best method to finding your family when they are not recorded anywhere in history?
  • What do you do when you feel you're at a dead end in researching your family?
4. The most important thing I have gained from this experience so far is the knowledge of my heritage and knowing where my family came from and how my family came from their native countries to start a new life here in the United States.

5. My Senior Topic is going to be Family History/ Genealogy. I have decided that I want to continue doing this for my official senior topic because throughout the summer I have learned so much about my family in only 10 hours and cannot imagine what I could learn in 50 hours.
