Genealogy Research Groups
What are FamilySearch Genealogy Research Groups?
FamilySearch Genealogy Research Groups are resources where individuals can post specific genealogical questions or translation requests regarding a country or region in the world. The community consists of individuals who wish to collaborate and help one another find answers.
To find a research group, you can go to one of two places:
1. FamilySearch Community: found on the FamilySearch website. You must log in using your FamilySearch account to view and post questions.
2. FamilySearch Facebook Groups: found on Facebook and maintained by FamilySearch. You must have a Facebook account to view questions and "join" the group to post questions.
