A Neat Trick

If you have ever wondered where people actually lived in your ward now you can see a ward map online: it is actual pretty simple to do..........

The information is all on this page:

Ward Map>Step 1> So you want a Ward Map?

Step 1: Got to www.lds.org and login to your ward site. (Its under the "About the Church" and then "Stake and Ward Websites") If you have never accessed this then you will need your church membership information, including membership number and confirmation date.

Step 2: Click on "Membership Directory"

Step 3: At the top of the list, right side there is a cvs option left click and then click "OK" Save this file to the desktop in order to find it later.

Step 4: Download this file to the desktop:

http://wardmap.theballfamily.org/WardMap.vbs

Step 5: Run the script file: It will ask you if you have the membership directory, click "OK" then find the File you saved in step 3 and hit enter.

Step 6: A new window should pop-up with a map and info search bar. Wait for the markers to load onto the map and you should have a quick map of your ward members.

(Note: if you don't have Flash Player you can load it here. If you need to change the settings for it then click on the Settings and on the third tab at the top change, Global Security Settings, the setting to "Always Allow")

Enjoy the fun.
