Family Search
Family Search is the brand name for a suite of genealogy resources maintained by the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (commonly known as the LDS or Mormons). Although the best known component of the suite is the (free) online website, it also includes a world-wide network of research centres.
Although the LDS church maintains the records as part of the religious obigations of its adherents, it makes them freely available to others without any obligation. Only users who sign-in with an LDS account will see any of the records related to Mormon belief or ritual. Note that the Family Tree component of the site is a unified or common tree on which all users work collaboratively. You are not setting up a personal tree. If you are offended if other people "mess with your work" then you should probably not use that part. |
