FamilySearch
FamilySearch is an approach to organizing and recording your family history (genealogy) online. It has powerful tools for data accuracy, usability, and collaboration. It is a way to work together to do family history. FamilySearch development is ongoing and aggressive, so you can expect frequent updates, including additional training materials. FamilySearch is intended to become the most accurate representation of an ancestral line. familysearch.org
