FamilySearch Genealogy Research Groups
FamilySearch has created Community Groups, a free new tool for researchers to get help with their family history research online. Of particular interest would be the ‘Germany’ group, but there are groups for other countries as well.
You can:
- ask questions / answer questions
- upload documents and get help with translation / translate documents for others
- participate in discussions
- learn about upcoming webinars
- discover and share new resources
We hope that this tool will be a valuable resource for those interested in their family history. For more information about how to sign up, go to
FamilySearch Genealogy Research Groups and see the extensive list of groups.
