Discussion

(*) is required

Historical records—like immigration papers and birth certificates—can help people learn interesting and valuable insights about their family.

Problem is, many of those insights are locked away in documents that are not easily searchable.

FamilySearch Get Involved provides simple tools to unlock the family names in those documents so they can be searched online for free.


How it works
FamilySearch uses sophisticated scanning technology to find ancestor names in historical records. Most of the time the computer can recognize the correct name. But it can’t always get it right.


Using FamilySearch Get Involved, anyone can quickly review names in historical records and verify what the computer found or flag any errors. Each name that gets corrected is a person that can now be found by their living family.

• Help people find their ancestors online.
• Focus on a country that is important to you.
• Give back to the genealogy community.
• Use spare time in a meaningful way.

Even correcting just one name makes a big difference. The names you will see in the Get Involved app are real people that have been lost to history until now. With your help, these people can be reunited with their family across generations.
