New Ancestor Connector: Part 2 - The Research

The new Ancestor Connector links your FamilySearch account to a unique database of over 21,000 individuals who lived during the 18th and 19th centuries, documented through more than 14,000 digitized and newly transcribed primary-source records from the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and the Pacific Islands. All individuals have been researched by professional genealogists with a focus on citing original records. The research extends beyond the 21,000 individuals to include their spouses, parents, and children, multiplying your potential discoveries. In Part 2, you will be guided through how to use the new Ancestor Connector tool to explore these records and meet new relatives linked to your FamilySearch account. You will be able to navigate the database and access sources drawn from 55,000 pages of transcribed historical documents now available online. Uncover new branches of your family.
