Climbing Your Branch of the FamilySearch Family Tree
The FamilySearch tree is collaborative, which means we are working together to create one tree for the entire world. Our responsibility is to ensure that our branch of that tree is as accurate as possible. Participants in this class will learn how to evaluate the accuracy of their branch of the FamilySearch family tree, resolve problems, and take steps to correctly document accurate information.
Participants should have a free FamilySearch account and have connected themselves to the collaborative tree before attending this session.
