What is FamilySearch?
What is FamilySearch?
- FamilySearch is a free, online family history website, (very similar to Ancestory.com) that contains millions of pieces of data such as scanned census and church records, and other public records, all in a searchable database. It allows you to search and build your family tree with names, dates, photos and stories for each individual, making it a personal record.
- As of May 2024, FamilySearch.org has over 2.4 million rolls of microfilmed genealogical records, 742,000 microfiche, 490,000 books, serials, and other formats, and 4,500 periodicals for over 110 countries, territories, and possessions. In 2021, FamilySearch added hundreds of millions of new, searchable, historical records, including collections for Scandinavian countries, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Mexico, Uruguay, Venezuela, Peru, areas in the Caribbean and Pacific Islands, and more.
