FamilySearch.org links directly to The Family History Guide


The Family History Guide is a FamilySearch.org Partner Program that is a free learning, research, training, and activities center for family history. It is also a world-class family history learning system with thousands of linked resources used by learners in over 150 countries and approved by FamilySearch as an official training resource. The mission of The Family History Guide is to greatly increase the number of people actively involved in family history worldwide and to make everyone's family history journey easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable.

The Family History Guide is now directly linked from FamilySearch.org

I am quite certain that very few of the users of the FamilySearch.org website are aware of the tremendous resources linked under the Help Center. Here is a screenshot of the pull-down menu when you click on the Help link in the upper right-hand corner of the FamilySearch.org home page when you sign in.



There are several linked paths that take you information about and links to The Family History Guide from this menu. For example, the Learning Center link has several linked videos that tell about The Family History Guide. Here is a screenshot showing links to videos about The Family History Guide in several different languages. I found these by searching for videos by Bob Taylor, one of the main participants in The Family History Guide program.


The main connection between the FamilySearch.org website and The Family History Guide is through the Helper Resources selection shown above. The link is located in the "Additional Resources" section.


I realize that this is a lot of clicks, but it is well worth knowing about. It is important to know that The Family History Guide is an integral part of the learning and research available through FamilySearch partners. When you click on the FamilySearch.org Basics link, you go directly to The Family History Guide.


Please take time to explore all of the wonderful resources that are available for research and learning both on the FamilySearch.org website and The Family History Guide website.
