If you’ve ever wondered about your family’s story, you’re not alone. Helping people discover their ancestors is something we care deeply about in the Church. That’s why we offer FamilySearch, a free family history website, and a network of free community resources to help anyone, regardless of religious background, explore their family history.
FamilySearch is a free family history platform supported by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Its mission is to help anyone—regardless of background—connect with their ancestors through global record preservation, tree-building tools, and local support centers.
FamilySearch is used by millions, and it’s open to everyone—no strings attached.
Volunteers offer personalized help, whether you’re new or experienced.
Use premium databases and digitized documents at no cost.
Digitize your family records, photos, or letters to keep them safe.
Attend free events designed to bring family history to life.
“Family history work has the power to do more than connect us to our ancestors—it connects us to our identity, strengthens our families, and can even bring healing to our hearts.”
Elder Quentin L. Cook
Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
