About

What

This site is for a local congregation of people interested in genealogy, also called family history.
We update the messages once per month on various topics related to family history.

This community includes members of a ward, in the local stake of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as well as people in the surrounding community.
Ward Temple & Family History Consultants staff the FamilySearch Center at the local Stake Center building.
- They serve free of charge.
- They provide personalized help on your family history. We help you gather your genealogy.
- You do NOT need to be a genealogy expert to get started on your own family history.
- They are happy to help if you get stuck or need help with family history.
- The tools available are WAY better today than 30 years ago.
Anyone can visit the FamilySearch centers around the world and use the tools for their own genealogy efforts.
We welcome anyone of any faith, and even those who are not associated with a faith.
- People staffing the family search centers typically speak the local language and sometimes other languages.

We are glad to help you see where you’ve come from.
- Find what’s already been discovered about your family in a community tree of over 1.47 billion ancestor names.
- The tools are easier than they’ve ever been

NOTE: We do not proselytize in the family search center.

Family Search Centers use many tools to help, including for example familysearch.org and ancestry.com
- Get your free account to familysearch.org and join millions of other people working to learn more about where they come from.
If you do not have access to a computer, you can start collecting your information using paper with My Family: Stories That Bring Us Together booklet and have discussions with people in your family to see what you already know as a group.
