The FamilySearch Family Tree Compare-a-Face



Compare-a-Face is an interesting app included in the FamilySearch.org Family History Activities.

https://www.familysearch.org/discovery/
Using this app, you can match up your own photo with that of any of your relatives that have photos in the FamilySearch Memories section. Unfortunately, there are no menu links to this Family History Activities section of the website. You can most easily find it by doing a Google search for FamilySearch activities. A link to the Activities page is also missing from the FamilySearch.org Site Map.

This collection of activities is derived from the apps used in the Family Discovery Centers located in Salt Lake City, Seattle, Lehi, Layton, Ogden, and St. George. Only two of these, Salt Lake at the Family History Library and Seattle are directly linked from the FamilySearch.org website. There may be more of these Discovery Centers and you are welcome to leave a comment and let us all know about additional Family Discovery Centers.

The Compare-a-face is interesting but if you have few or no photos in the Memories section of the website, your choices for comparison will be limited.
