Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are dedicated to ensuring that our genealogy resources are accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities.

Accessibility from the Ground Up

FamilySearch integrates accessibility into the design and development of our website and applications. We strive to align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to ensure that our platforms are perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. We actively seek user feedback to identify areas for improvement and continuously enhance our digital tools to serve families better worldwide.

To support diverse needs, FamilySearch offers features such as:

  • Screen reader compatibility for users who are blind or have low vision.
  • Keyboard navigation support for users with motor disabilities.
  • Closed captioning on video content for users who are hard of hearing.
  • Accessible formats for genealogical records and resources, including an increasing number of record images with text-based transcriptions.
