WHAT IS THE WIKI FOR?
The purpose of the FamilySearch Wiki is to support researchers and Family History Consultants. While it does not have names of ancestors, it has links to Internet sites that have name indexes and/or images of records. It also has research ideas, information, and tips. The Wiki “helps helpers help people.”
