The Key to Using FamilySearch Family Tree

For some considerable time, there has been a vast instructional aid to learning FamilySearch.org's Family Tree program. Unfortunately, very few of the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who have been struggling with learning the new program are aware of this resource. The set of lessons, both video and written, is called the Family Tree Training Lessons and Videos. Here is how to find this resource on FamilySearch.org.

The first step is to login. Then click on the Get Help link on the startup page:


There is a pull-down menu.


You will want to click on the link to the Learning Center. Here is a screenshot of the Learning Center. Remember that these webpages may change at any time. The Learning Center contains hundreds of videos on various subjects. You will do well to explore its offerings. Presently, the Family Tree Training Lessons and Videos are on this startup page.


Here is the introductory page to the Family Tree Training Lessons and Videos:


Here is a quote from the explanation of this collection of instructional materials:
This curriculum is a set of individualized lessons designed to give the user an extensive understanding of Family Tree. Level One has 28 short lessons that are done on your own account and 21 short lessons that are done on a fake or sandbox account. This level is designed for the very beginner. Level Two is an intermediate course with 35 lessons that are done in your own account and 57 lessons that are done in a fake or sandbox account. Level Three is an advanced problem-solving curriculum designed for those who need to understand how to fix the big problems encountered in the tree.

Although this collection has a date in 2013, it is really up-to-date. That was likely the initial date the collection was created. You need to seriously consider taking the written portions of the instruction.
