This past fall, FamilySearch.org announced a series of partnerships with three major genealogy websites providing high-quality scanned images of church, archive and courthouse records throughout the world.
- Ancestry.com (Initially US, now worldwide)
- FindMyPast.com (Principally the British Isles)
- MyHeritage.com (US & worldwide, 40 languages, concentrating now on growing Scandinavian and Germanic record groups.)
- AmericanAncestors.org (New England)
Normally each website requires annual membership fees in the hundreds of dollars We are now provided unprecedented access to these vast digital images of documents that may mention our ancestors.
By setting up an "LDS Account" at each site, LDS Church members benefit from free access to almost all of each website's record collections. Latter-day Saints can sign up for a free subscription at familysearch.org/partneraccess.
