The site most people forgot about
Maybe you used this site a few times and never went back. It’s definitely gotten a glow-up. FamilySearch.org is run by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which has spent over a century collecting genealogical records. But it’s open to absolutely everyone, regardless of faith or background. No catch. No subscription. No credit card.
Over 8 billion records. Immigration manifests. Census documents. Birth certificates. Military records. Church ledgers. Covering more than 170 countries, going back centuries.
Create a free account, start a basic family tree with what you know, and the site automatically matches your relatives against its database. Love that.
