FamilySearch Login in FTM

Family Tree Makers Support

The goal of FamilySearch is to assist everyone in learning about their ancestry by offering a free website with resources like the most extensive, most comprehensive free genealogy database and an openly searchable worldwide tree. Search the vast database at FamilySearch.org for your family’s records. These global record collections result from decades of continuous worldwide imaging and indexing.

Additionally, you can look through and join the global effort to build a single, all-encompassing tree that unites everyone, known as the “world’s tree.” Each day, the tree gets bigger. This crowdsourcing effort has identified over a billion deceased people through family connections. Find out which family members have already had their profiles added to the tree and how to add more. Let us dive in to learn how to log in to FamilySearch.org.
