TIP OF THE WEEK –
FAMILYSEARCH COMMUNITY RESEARCH GROUPS

Here’s another great educational opportunity from the folks at FamilySearch.

It has recently created a new tool for you to get genealogical research help in the comfort of your own home. So if you can’t make it to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, use the area groups within the online community to find the research help that you need. And of course, it’s free! You do need to join FamilySearch, but that is free also.

Come get involved and make the research groups more valuable for everyone! Find answers, post questions, browse, find or create or join a group, help others.

Get help – you can:

• ask questions
• upload documents and get help with translation
• participate in discussions
• learn about upcoming webinars
• discover new resources

Give help – share your knowledge and skills:

• answer questions
• translate documents for others
• share new resources

There are numerous community research groups in three main categories:

• International Research Groups – from Albania to Zimbabwe
• North American Research Groups – Alabama to Wyoming
• Specialty Research Groups – 23andMe Newbies to The Nextgen Genealogy Network
