Introduction to New FamilySearch

Purpose for the New Family Search program
New FamilySearch, also known by it's initials NFS, is the church’s new flagship internet based family history program. All Temple submissions at the Los Angeles Temple now require its use. The program was created to:

• Reduce duplication of temple ordinance work. • Simplify the process to submit names to the temple. • Help families work together to identify their ancestors and to make sure their family history is as accurate and complete as possible.

Class Description
Each NFS class is free and only one class is required. However, you are welcome to attend more than once. Among the items covered are:


 * 1) Creating your NFS account
 * 2) Starting you own pedigree
 * 3) Adding to your pedigree
 * 4) Checking for new and duplicate names
 * 5) Reserving uncompleted work that needs to be done
 * 6) Getting cards printed for use at the Temple.
