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," | 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 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.<ref name="Allen">James B.
