FamilySearch is a nonprofit organisation and website offering a substantial range and number of family history records, including databases and record images, from over 110 countries across the world. It is operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Access to the records is free, and anyone can register for a free account. However some records have restricted access due to the varying authorisation contracts in place. Meaning that some can only be viewed at a FamilySearch Center, at an Affiliate Library, or by church members. Berkshire Family History Society’s new Family Research Centre is one such Affiliate Library giving visitors access to over 300 million more records than can be viewed at home.
Find out how to get the most from this free website with the former director of the London FamilySearch Centre. This will include a short introduction together with some brief case studies chosen to illustrate different features.
11am - 1pm
Pre-booking is required so that the Zoom meeting link can be emailed to you.
