This is a project to help professional genealogists market themselves for free on FamilySearch Wiki.

Appropriate marketing on FamilySearch Wiki[edit | edit source]

  • Post your Professional Genealogy education (degree), Professional Genealogy competency-tested credentials, Professional Genealogy experience, Professional Genealogy (professionals-only membership) associations, Business License Compliance on your user page.
  • Attach sub-pages to your user page which include featured services, examples of client reports, and customer testimonials, continuing education in professional genealogy.

Inappropriate marketing on FamilySearch Wiki[edit | edit source]

  • Don't add an entry to a page like Ohio Vital Records that says "Joe Genius is a professional genealogist who does fee-based vital records lookups in Ohio vital records. Click here to go to his user page and see his services and fee schedule."

Want to help?[edit | edit source]
