For Day 2 of our 12 Days of Genealogy Media Resources, we’re spotlighting one of the most powerful—and completely free—tools available to family historians: FamilySearch. In this episode, we walk through why FamilySearch remains a foundational resource for both beginners and experienced researchers. We discuss its vast collection of records, global family tree, research wiki, and how its collaborative features can help you uncover new information and connect with relatives you never knew you had.

Whether you’re building your first tree or diving deep into archival collections, FamilySearch offers guidance, community, and millions of records at your fingertips. We also share tips for getting the most out of the site and what new users should know before diving in.
