How to Create a Society Page
To begin editing your Society page, you must first have FamilySearch create one for you. Email us at: uswiki@FamilySearch.org.

We will email you when it is ready.

Once your page has been created, follow these steps:

Step One

 * Fill out the following Society Page Form. You can save this document as a word file and add information through the computer to save time. Or you can print it and fill it out.


 * Don't worry if your Society does not have information that would go in each section. You can delete the headings that do not apply.


 * Please note as we get input from you and other societies, this template may change in the future. We will contact you and work with you in adding the information.

Step Two - Create a FamilySearch User Account

 * Once your Society Page Form is filled out, create a FamilySearch user account.
