New FamilySearch Project Helps Users Find Ancestor Interactions with Joseph Smith

A new website combines the work of two of the largest, longest-running and most prolific projects in the LDS Church to help people learn whether their ancestors interacted with Joseph Smith.

Familysearch.org/joseph-smith-papers#/people-mentioned is free.

“Using the power of FamilySearch.org and the scholarship of the Joseph Smith Papers Project, descendants of early church members can now connect to original source documents where their own progenitors are mentioned,” said Elder Steven E. Snow, church historian and recorder.
