A quicker way?


Ordinarily, we begin with logging in to www.FamilySearch.org. However, a friend and fellow genealogy blogger, James Tanner, who works at the Family History Center in the Brigham Young University Library, discovered something new last night. He writes: 
"In some cases, when I am helping patrons at the Brigham Young University  Family History Library  (BYU) to get started with their family history, I am finding that the fastest and most impressive way for them to get started is by entering some basic family data into MyHeritage.com. Usually, by the time the patron has entered some basic information about parents and grandparents, MyHeritage.com has started suggesting Record Matches. This particular process went into overdrive starting last evening when Record Matches forFamilySearch.org's Family Tree started appearing."

MyHeritage.com is one of three subscription websites that provide free access to LDS Church members. Since you can accomplish 2 searches in one place, I recommend using MyHeritage.
