My name is Joanne Kartchner and I live in Benson, Arizona. I serve at the local family history center and was director for 20 years; I also served as the stake Spanish extraction director for 20 years. My husband and I served two missions where he was area medical advisor in Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador. When I was not assisting him in the clinic or traveling on zone conference assignments, I served in the Bogota family history center. The Bogota temple opened while we were there and I helped prepare TempleReady names in the thousands and thousands. Our second mission in the Mexico City South Area was similar to the prior mission. In addition to serving in the family history center, I found name extraction projects which had not been completed so I had the privilege of finishing those projects. Several years ago I served 2 1/2 years as a "remote" missionary answering via email research questions in Research Support. I've taught research classes in many towns and cities in Arizona. I love to learn, I love to teach.
