FamilySearch Genealogy Research Community

FamilySearch has recently created a new tool for you to get genealogical help in the comfort of your own home. If you can't make it to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, use these communities to find much of the research help that you need. Of course, it’s free!

You will need a FamilySearch account in order to join the research groups. If you do not have an account, click on "Free Account" in the upper right-hand part of this page.
