Getting Started With Family Search

Creating a Family History Account

If you're interested in family history, one of the best resources to start with is familysearch.org. This is the resource I use the most when I research or when I want to find information and stories about my ancestors. This resource is completely free to everyone. You don't have to be a member of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints to use it.

This short video walks you through setting up an account with Family Search using the Family Tree app.
