Video Series on the Four FamilySearch Partner Websites

FamilySearch.org has three major, online genealogy website partners: Ancestry.com, MyHeritage.com and Findmypast.com. In addition, FamilySearch.org has partnerships with Family.me and AmericanAncestors.org.

When you are registered with an LDS Account as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, individuals in the FamilySearch.org Family Tree can be directly searched in all four of the very large genealogy websites. Here is a screenshot showing the links.

During the past week or so, I have been recording four separate webinars with some basic information about each of the four websites. So far, the first two have been uploaded to the BYU Family History Library YouTube Channel and the other two will be shortly.

The other two videos have already been recorded and will be uploaded shortly. We are planning another extensive round of webinars and videos from the Brigham Young University Family History Library in September when school starts again for the Fall Semester. 

You can subscribe to the BYU Family History Library YouTube Channel by clicking on the subscribe link on the Channel's webpage.

There is an issue that YouTube is blocked in most of the LDS chapels, but you can show a video by connecting to the Internet directly with a hotspot and avoid using the local WiFi connection. 

We are encouraged with the response to the videos so far and we are certainly open to suggestions for future topics.
