Registering on FamilySearch.org


Registration Instructions    (Handout)    
Screen shot of the actual registration page   (Print on back of handout)

Invite families to contact the consultants in the ward if they need help registering on FamilySearch.

Screen shot of the actual registration page   This screen shot could be printed on the back side of the registration instructions and given to members.  They can see, ahead of time, exactly what information they will need to give and will notice the optional part of the registration on the bottom of the form.  Many people don't notice or don't fill out this part of the registration.  It is necessary to fill out this portion and register as members of the Church, with membership number and corresponding confirmation date, in order to see the ordinance dates of ancestors.



Note:  Members will need to re-register in the future when the new FamilySearch is released, so remind them to keep their registration information in a safe place where they can locate it when needed.  Also, since a large percentage of calls to Family History Support are because members have forgotten their username and password, suggest that they write the information on the back of their temple recommend, in the back of their journal, and several places.
