Family Tree Purpose[edit | edit source]

Accurately document the genealogy of humankind and preserve it for generations to come so that Church members can find their families and qualify them for temple ordinances.


What is Family Tree[edit | edit source]


The Family Tree is a new approach to researching and organizing your family history that focuses on enhanced data accuracy through collaboration and sourcing. It takes the best features of new.FamilySearch and adds many useful functions. It looks similar, but it does much more and will enable you to enjoy family history in new ways. Once all of the features are in place, the Family Tree will replace new.FamilySearch and will be freely and publically available to people around the world.

Three Classes will be offered with hands on experience using Family Tree.
