'''About Geneanet''' | '''About Geneanet'''<br> | ||
Geneanet was launched in 1996 by genealogy enthusiasts to help family history researchers sharing their data. They wanted their users to pay only if they want and that’s why they created the Premium service. Most of the website pages and features are available for free but you can take advantage of Ad-Free browsing, more effective search engine and access to additional records by subscribing to the Premium. | |||
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can receive a free membership by going following the link on the [https://www.familysearch.org/campaign/partneraccess/ Partner Access] page. You must be logged into FamilySearch to verify your Church Membership. Geneanet is the first French genealogy website and the company has 25 employees. | |||
