Tips for Visitors

 * You must have a FamilySearch account (free). Or an LDS account.
 * You don't have to be a member of the LDS Church to have a FamilySearch account.
 * FamilySearch accounts are free but are best set up at home before visiting the Family History Center. Those without an account or who have forgotten their account username or password should allow time before their scheduled visit for assistance in establishing this information.
 * Your FamilySearch data file should connect to deceased ancestors in order to enjoy a unique and personal experience.

Age Restrictions
Anyone 8 years of age and older is eligible for a FamilySearch account; however, accounts for children ages 8 through 12 require parental permission via email at the time the account is created.

Forgotten Passwords
Account recovery and password resets require one of the following:
 * The email address associated with the account and the ability to access the email while at the Center.
 * The phone number associated with the account and the ability to receive text messages from that phone while at the Center.
 * The LDS Membership Record Number (MRN). (Leaders might consider bringing a list of MRN's for the LDS youth who are in their group.)

Connecting to Ancestors
Linking an individual to their ancestors in FamilySearch is a separate activity from creating an account. Most people need access to family records or other living relatives in order to link themselves to their ancestors. This is best accomplished at home or during a separate visit to the Center. For youth it is helpful if a parent can be present.
