Map/Society Page Project

What is the Map/Society Page Project?

FamilySearch would like to include your society on a FamilySearch.org map! On a future map, your society name will be linked to your society page located on the FamilySearch Research Wiki which will be maintained by your society.

The Society Wiki page includes:

• Purpose of the Society
• Holdings of your society including, record collections, indexes, publications, etc.
• List of Look up Services
• Benefits of joining your Society
• Society meetings
• Society projects
