Climbing Your Branch of the FamilySearch Family Tree

The FamilySearch tree is collaborative, which means we are working together to create one tree for the entire world. Our responsibility is to ensure that our branch of that tree is as accurate as possible. Participants in this class will learn how to evaluate the accuracy of their branch of the FamilySearch family tree, resolve problems, and take steps to correctly document accurate information. Participants should have a free FamilySearch account and have connected themselves to the collaborative tree before attending this session.

Thank you so much for very clear and engaging instructions. I'm an assigned family history consultant for my local lds stake. I'm also a 70 yr old digital dinosaur overwhelmed by all things digital. YOU walked me through the entire Family Search basics so gently, I now feel I can accomplish my work!!

This was a great tutorial to get me going on Family Search. It caught my attention that you are from Otto Wyoming. I grew up in Powell. I was recently back there for a visit. During my trip I logged on to my mother's Family Search account. After discovering several interesting ancestors, I realize I need to get my own log-in. How will I do my tree if I want my mother's ancestors to transfer over to my tree without entering each one?

That's great! After you create your free account on the website, the first time you view your own pedigree you will see a Begin Your Family Tree screen that contains easy to follow steps to help you enter information about yourself in Family Tree. That will get you connected to your relatives. Let us know if you have any other questions!
