Family Search Registration

Some of the data on the Family Search IGI is protected for privacy reasons.  This data is accessible only if you are a registered LDS user of Family Search.

To register

      To view ordinance information on www.familysearch.org you must be registered as a member on the site and be signed on.

     Both those who have registered and those who have never registered on familysearch.org need to obtain their personal Membership Record Number and confirmation date from their ward clerk.

     With this information, go to www.familysearch.org.  Click on Sign On in the upper right hand corner of the home page.  If you are a new user, click here to Register. Fill in all of your information on the page, including your Membership Record Number and Confirmation date at the bottom of the page. Click Save.  You only need to enter these two items once.

**************************************************************************************

   The registration form asks you for your E-Mail address.  If you do not have one, you can get a free E-Mail address from yahoo.com (or hotmail.com, etc.). The registration form also asks you to make up your own User Name and Password.  You should write down any new E-Mail address and User Name and Password information.  

Once you are registered as a member of the Church, you can later sign on again using only your User Name and Password.

 **************************************************************************************

If you have forgotten your user name or password, click under the Sign On box where it says: If you have forgotten your user name or password, click here.  You will see: ‘To retrieve a forgotten user name or password, please enter your e-mail address. Your user name and password will then be e-mailed to you.’  This is one of the reasons an E-Mail address was requested.  

If you have also forgotten your E-Mail address you can call the Family Search support number at 1-800-346-6044, or if you are calling from the 801 area code, call 240-2584.  Call either number Mondays through Fridays from 8:30 to 5:00, SLC time.
     
Before you call or visit, you should have your street address, phone, Membership Number, Confirmation Date, and E-Mail address.   

Membership Numbers are 11 digit numbers in the form: xxx-xxxx-xxxx.   They will appear on the form titled: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS – MEMBERSHIP RECORD, which is an 8 ½ by 11 sheet of paper from your ward clerk, listing you and all your family, and Membership Numbers on each of your family members.  The Membership Number will also now be on your new Temple Recommend.  You will only need one Membership Number and the corresponding confirmation date for your family.
