Latter-day Saint Preliminary Survey: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:27, 18 April 2018

There are a few resources you want to check when you first get started in the search for the records of your LDS ancestors.

Home Sources[edit | edit source]

The records that are held by parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins could be very beneficial. The time spent in searching for original records could be reduced by finding what was searched by others before you. In addition to home sources, extended family members may have submitted information about your common ancestor to the Family Tree, Pedigree Resource File, or to the old Ancestral File, or to the old "Four Generation Program" which were microfilmed as part of the Family Group Records Collection. Many LDS ancestors are found in the International Genealogical Index.

Online Sources[edit | edit source]

The following list of sites on the Internet will be helpful in searching for the records of your LDS ancestors. In many cases, these sources will lead to other records where your ancestors were mentioned. Click on each source for more details about the record. A link to the web site for each source is also provided:
