In an ongoing effort to make genealogical records available to Church members, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has made an agreement with three major partners — Ancestry.com, MyHeritage and findmypast — to provide premium subscriptions free of charge to all Church members.
A limited number of Church members have already received subscriptions, with a few thousand more gaining access every week. This week, 45,000 members will receive email invitations.
“We’re all about giving access to members of the Church and those not of our faith access to as many records as possible so they can identify their ancestors and preserve their legacy for generations,” said Thom Reed, partner marketing manager at FamilySearch International.
