We’re all part of a great missionary heritage. Whether your ancestors preached the gospel in far-off places hundreds of years ago or you’re the one leading the way in creating your family’s missionary story, we all have a connection to someone who made sacrifices, great or small, to share the good news of the gospel. These stories connect us, inspire us, and show us the conviction and faith found in our roots.FamilySearch is celebrating those stories with research tips, activities, and tools to help you discover more about your missionary heritage. Find out which of your ancestors served missions, where they served, and what their experience was like. Research your missionary ancestors in the Church History Database to find their names in mission records. Or get the family together and check out our fun missionary activities for all ages.
