The Family Group Records Collection provides microfilmed copies of about 8 million family group records created by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The collection can help you survey research done previously by others, saving you time and giving you valuable information. While you should not assume the information to be completely accurate, you can use the information and sources provided on the family group records to guide you to original records. The collection is divided into two sections, the Archive Section and the Patrons Section.<ref name="Nichols">Elizabeth Nichols, "Family Group Collections of the Family History Library," [http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&amp;amp;titleno=244938 ''Genealogical Journal''] 24 (Winter 1996): 11-27.</ref>

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 section 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. 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 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.  


If members of the LDS Church participated in the Three Generation or Four Generation record submission programs prior to 1979, their original submissions would now be found on these microfilms. After this period, the records were put directly into the [[Ancestral File|'''Ancestral File''']] which can be searched online at [http://www.familysearch.org www.familysearch.org]

Family group records filmed in the order received; no alphabetical or geographical arrangement. "Probably the very first collection of family group records. These forms had spaces to record families on the frot and back of the sheet — therefore they are called the ''Form 2'' collection. Because of this condition, it was not possible to alphabetize the sheets." <ref name="Nichols" />
