How to Create a Society Page
Follow these steps:

Step One - Create Your Society Page

 * To begin editing your Society page, you must first have FamilySearch create one for you. Send an email to: uswiki@FamilySearch.org.


 * An email will be sent as soon as the Society page is completed.

Step Two - Gather Information about Your Society

 * Fill out the following Society Page Form. You can save this document as a word file or you can print it and fill it out. This will be a guide to help you fill out the Society Page.


 * All of the information you gather, you will add to the Society page.


 * If your Society does not have information that would apply in a section, delete the sections as needed.


 * NOTE: As input is collected from you and other societies, this template may change. We will contact you and work with you in adding the information.

Step Three - Create a FamilySearch User Account

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