Three million family group records were submitted to the Patrons Section between 1926-1979. The purpose was to share genealogical information and identify others working on the same lines. Each collection has some names that cannot be found in other filmings. The family group records often included a brief list of the sources used to compile the record. Sometimes the sources specify [[Old film numbers|old film numbers]] or book numbers used by the Family History Library. Some records also included biographical histories for the family members listed on the form. In many instances several records have been submitted for the same family unit. Comparison of these records will sometimes reveal discrepancies. The collection binders have been removed from circulation so these records are available only on microfilm. | Three million family group records were submitted to the Patrons Section between 1926-1979.

The 1924- collection has been filmed twice, once after 1950 and again after 1962. This collection should not be confused with the "1924-1942 : unalphabetized" collection. | |||

Records pertain primarily to person living from ca. 1700-1962. Contains some records for person living as far back as 600 A.D. Records arranged in approximate alphabetical order. Surnames spelled differently but pronounced the same are often interfiled; some records filed out of alphabetical order. Records for some surnames are incomplete or missing. The 1924-1962 filming includes most of these records and is more legible. | Records pertain primarily to person living from ca. 1700-1962.

The 1962- collection resulted from the Three- and Four-Generation Programs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In 1965 the Church asked members to submit family group records for three generations of their family. By the end of 1966, about 20% of members had participated. In 1966 the Church extended the request to four generations plus a pedigree chart. Submissions made after 1 July 1979 were added to [[Ancestral File]] rather than the Family Group Records Collection. | |||
The 1962- collection has also been filmed twice. The 1962-1977 filming is arranged alphabetically and the 1962-1979 filming is arranged by submission year. The collection was previously available to the public in binders marked with yellow labels on the spines.<br> | |||

Arranged alphabetically by husband's name when known, and by wife's name when name of husband is unknown. If there is more than one record with the same filing name then they are arranged by birth/christening date. Filming was done in two groups. Surnames "A" to "Kelsey" were filmed first and occupy rolls 1558711 through 1558961. The filming was stopped when it was discovered that Ancestral File contained information for 80 percent of the sheets. Surnames "Kelsey" to "Z" were filmed in 2003-2004 on rolls 2368889, 2369005 | Arranged alphabetically by husband's name when known, and by wife's name when name of husband is unknown.
