All About FamilySearch
Posted by Allison
A few weeks ago, I was talking with Family Tree Magazine’s art director, Christy, about German genealogy. We
both have Deutsch roots, and I
was telling her how I’d traced my one family branch in 18th-century Bavaria on
a trip to the Family History Library (FHL) in Salt Lake City. Christy hadn’t
known that it’s fairly easy to get historical records from Germany—and many
other places—through the FHL and local centers, which act like FHL branches.
I’ve had a lot of similar encounters, and it always
surprises me how many genealogy buffs don’t know the depth and breadth of
resources available from FamilySearch, the genealogy arm of Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. (Even Family Tree Magazine readers!) That’s why I decided to make
FamilySearch the topic of this month’s Family Tree Magazine webinar:
FamilySearch Essentials: How to Access Records From 100
Countries Without Leaving Town
This hourlong session will be hosted by yours truly
Wednesday, Aug. 26 at 7 p.m. Eastern/6 p.m. Central/5 p.m. Mountain/4 p.m.
Pacific. In it, I’ll walk through FamilySearch’s offline and online genealogy
resources, show you how to find records relevant to your own genealogy search,
and demonstrate different tools on the FamilySearch Web site.
Registration costs $49.99, and you can sign up using the
link above. If you’re new to webinars and wonder how they work, see our FAQ.
P.S. If it’s German genealogy you want to learn more about,
watch for an article about Germany’s historical regions in the December 2009
issue of Family Tree Magazine, coming to subscribers’ mailboxes in late October.
