"New" Family Search

If you haven't gone to the new family search website, you must! It is incredible and is pretty easy to navigate through. It's so fun to see your family on this site and to add other family members. Here are the instructions you need to register and use the website (information given out by our Bishopric):

1. Access the internet via your internet web browser.
2. Navigate to the following website: http://www.new.familysearch.org/
3. At this site, locate the option "Register for the new FamilySearch"
4. You will need your "church membership number" and your "confirmation date" to complete the registration process. (If you don't have these, you can ask the Ward Clerk for assistance in obtaining them.)
5. Follow the registration instructions on the screen.
6. You will be asked to choose a "username" and a "password".
7. Write down your chosen "username" and "password" and keep them in a safe where you can refer back to them if necessary.
8. Once registered, you can log onto the site in the future using your "username" and "password". You will no longer be asked for your "church membership number" and "confirmation date".
9. Explore the various options found on this page. The most important link to click on initially is the link called, "See Me and My Ancestors". Here, you will see a pedigree chart of you and your family.
10. HAVE FUN!!! At this point, the fun starts, and the possibilities are endless!!
