Church members today are "reaping a harvest of family love from seeds sown years ago."
      The time of harvest has come as new and greater methods of research have been developed to help people identify their ancestors and perform sacred ordinances for them.
      "The time of harvest is come. A new era of family history work has arrived. As President Gordon B. Hinckley recently noted: 'The Lord has inspired skilled men and women in developing new technologies which we can use to our great advantage in moving forward this sacred work.' Previously, efforts have focused on gathering names and dates and organizing that information. Now, computer products are available that can actually guide you to find your kindred."
      One new research aid is the Family History SourceGuide. Another is a new Vital Records Index.
      "I am excited about these and other developments. Tasks that once seemed beyond reach are now within our grasp. 'With God nothing shall be impossible.' "
