Discover Your Ancestors Using Other Partner Sites

FamilySearch is the largest database of genealogical information in the world, and it is growing daily, but there is still more information available than can be processed by one group. And, family history is for everyone who is in a family, regardless of religion, race or nationality. Because of the enormity of the task, FamilySearch has formed partnerships with several other groups and companies to share information and move the pace of the work forward. These Partner Sites have agreements with FamilySearch to share their data in exchange for sharing the data and resources of FamilySearch. Most are companies who operate for a profit, but allow LDS church member free access to at least some of their data.

Following and Labeling Ancestors

Do you want to remember who is: end of line, direct line, frequently changing, close to 110 years old, or any reason? This quick class will show you how to keep track of relatives, follow changes being made to their page, and label them so you can keep them organized and remember why you are following them.

Exploring Historical Images on FamilySearch

In this class we will explore the Image tab on FamilySearch. About 70% of the records that FamilySearch has available are not indexed. This class will demonstrate how to locate and attach those records to your Ancestor's Person Page. These imaged records contain valuable information to help discover more about your Ancestors.
