Help Gather Israel — One Person at a Time
Our purpose is not to collect names. Our purpose is to connect families for eternity.
Every family has a story worth discovering.
Each month, we share one simple invitation to help you discover your ancestors, preserve precious memories, and strengthen family connections.
No experience required. Just one small step at a time.
November 2026 Family History Invitation
Welcome Back to FamilySearch!
If it's been a while - Come see what you've been missing!
Have you visited FamilySearch lately?
Whether it's been a few months or several years, this is a wonderful time to reconnect with your family tree.
You might discover a photograph you've never seen, a family story someone has shared, or new information about an ancestor.
This month's invitation is simple: Sign in, look around, and see what you discover!
Three Easy Steps:
Sign in to your account
Church members can sign in using their Church Account.
Explore your family tree
Look for an ancestor. Open their profiles. Discover what's there.
If you've forgotten your sign-in information, don't worry. FamilySearch provides account recovery options.
Remember: You don't need to accomplish everything in one visit. Sometimes one small discovery is enough to make you want to return.
One small discovery. One eternal connection.
Discover the Heart of Family History
Every name has a story. Every family has a history. Every connection matters.
