The FamilySearch Wiki is about finding records that may have been generated about your ancestors and the places in which the records might be found. It is a vast record depository of the paper trail that people leave behind long after they are gone. When you search in the Wiki, you search for places your ancestors lived and records you think they may have been in. You will not find a Wiki page about your ancestor, but you may find a database that contains your ancestor's death record! | The FamilySearch Wiki is about finding records that may have been generated about your ancestors and the places in which the records might be found.
