FamilySearch users can join multiple family groups (up to ten). To join a family group, you must receive an invitation from a group administrator.

This invitation could come in a variety of ways, such as an email. You could also receive an invitation through text message, or another messaging system that both you and the group administrator use.

Steps

  1. Find and open the invitation. If it was sent by email, be sure to check your spam folder.
  2. Click the link in the invitation.
  3. Sign into FamilySearch.
  4. Click the check box to agree to the terms.
  5. Click Yes, Join.

Your invitation to join is in a pending state. A group administrator needs to finish it by approving your request.
