The Church’s Sponsorship
of FamilySearch
Linking the Generations
Feelings of family connection can help us overcome the ups and downs of life. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints funds FamilySearch to help people draw strength from their family relationships—past, present, and future. You can learn more about Church teachings related to families at ComeUntoChrist.org.
What It Means to You
Personal and family information you add to FamilySearch is used to help you discover, preserve, and share your family story. It is never sold to other companies. Information about living family is kept private to you, while genealogy details of your deceased ancestors are shared with other researchers in the community Family Tree.
Improving the Lives of Everyone
Family history can be a source of inspiration, joy, healing, clarity, empathy, and peace. We hope that all of the world’s people can experience these feelings in their lives as they carry on or create family traditions that celebrate their ancestors.
