Historical Records Instruction

What is Historical Records Support?

Historical Records support helps guests with most of the collections on the Search feature on FamilySearch. Although you will not do research for guests, you will:

1. Teach guests how to seek new information on their ancestors in Historical Records found on FamilySearch.

2. Help point guests toward the correct guides or resources to locate the records they are seeking.

3. Help guests who are dealing with problems in collections, catalog errors, or assist guests who want to know why they can't see specific digital images.
