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.
