Else Churchill and Mia Bennett are waiting to welcome you to our virtual common room to discuss how we use the free website FamilySearch. Whether you attended part 1 or not there will be something new to learn about this resource.
SoG is proud to be a FamilySearch Affiliate Library, where you can access images from FamilySearch’s digital genealogical collections that are not accessible from home. We will discuss the many aspects of the FamilySearch website, from the FamilySearch Catalogues, to the family trees, pedigrees, the wiki and of course FamilySearch Labs. There is no “right” way to use this enormous free genealogical resource.
Come and share your tips on how to the get the best from https://www.familysearch.org/.
So grab a sandwich or a cuppa and sit down with us. Our lunchtime chats are friendly and relaxed.
