"The FamilySearch team held a Zoom workshop for the Genealogy Society Singapore last year, introducing FamilySearch software and its extensive database. Their active participation in the chat group supports many GSS members in researching their ancestral roots. It demonstrated the passion and professionalism of the great team."
Lee Khong Kee | Program Development Director, Genealogy Society Singapore
"The relationship between the Shanghai Library and FamilySearch dates back to the end of the last century. The cooperation between the two parties in the collection, arrangement, research and service of Chinese genealogy has lasted for more than 20 years. A jiapu is a historical picture that records the lineage, characters and deeds of a group of people with the same ancestry and ancestors. It is an important part of human cultural heritage and has the functions of tracing one's roots and ancestors, academic research, education and discipline. This is very consistent with FamilySearch’s understanding of family jiapu."
Zhou Deming | Former Deputy Director of the Shanghai Library
"My family tree only went back four generations. I knew that my relatives in mainland China had a very thick genealogy book, but my father had passed away, I didn’t know my mainland relatives, and I had no contact information. In mid-October 2020 I saw that there was a new search function on FamilySearch.org, so I used my experience in editing ancestors’ generational names to search by generation character. After finding it, I followed the line to find the names of my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. I felt like I was on a treasure hunt. I never imagined that my clan would be so huge. There were several volumes of information on the same generational names, and I had to patiently search page by page. After two days of searching, I finally found it. My joy was indescribable. It is really a priceless treasure."
