| == Prepare for Your Visit ==
| |
| Here are some tips that will make your group’s visit to the Family History Library a great experience:
| |
| *'''Obtain a FamilySearch Account in advance.''' If your groups plans to learn about how to use FamilySearch Family Tree, you will have a much more productive experience if all of the members of your group obtain a [http://bit.ly/2fysS2X FamilySearch Account] (either an LDS account or FamilySearch account) '''before''' coming to the library. Go to the FamilySearch account link previously mentioned to obtain an account. When you come to the library, be sure to have each member of your group brings his or her username and password.
| |
| *'''Bring genealogical information.''' Have each member of your group bring some genealogical information about his or her family. For example, who in your family do you want to find more information about? If you have a specific name, a place where they came from, and an estimated birth, marriage or death date, your searching will be more successful.
| |
| *'''Bring enough leaders to help children and youth.''' If your group is primarily composed of children or youth, have enough leaders to help them have a fun and productive experience while at the same time maintaining respect for other guests in the library.
