FamilySearch Center

Tonight we visited the new FamilySearch Center in Lehi, UT. It is a huge building close to Thanksgiving Point. We had a great time.

The center offers research assistance on how to start on familysearch.org, how to find ancestors, and everything you need to engage in family history. They also built a Discovery area with large interactive screens where we can login into our family search account and discover many fun things about ourselves, our family, and our ancestors.

We found out the meaning of our names and interesting facts that occurred during the year we were born, we discovered where our ancestors came from by exploring photos, stories, and immigration maps. Plus everything we do there are sent directly to our e-mail.

We can also discover how we are related to church leaders, political leaders, inventors, and celebrities. Ale found out he is related to Elder Tom Perry! In the meantime I took pictures of myself in different cultural clothing around the world.

Something really cool they have it's a group or individual recording studios where you can record memories of yourself or your family. We answer to some question while everything is recorded and sent to your email. We tried to make one but we stopped when Bianca started a tantrum. We are definitely going back for that!

We finished our tour capturing pictures of our family in Brazil, Italy, and Utah.

-Plan your visit-

If you already have a FamilySearch account, be sure to remember your username and password when you visit the center. If you do not have an account, you can set up one here. It would be good to have a least one connection to a deceased family member. Assistance is available at the center to help you set up an account and to build your family tree.

Have fun!
